I am waiting on Insurance Approval. I can't wait to have this done and I am trying to read each and every comment there is on this web sight. I think this will be the best thing for me and my thyroid problems. And I can't wait to read all there is posted and to meet some new friends.

I wish you lots of luck and a very fast insurance approval!! You've come to the right place for information, so many educated people here!!

My doctor is Dr. McEwen and he seems really nice and says this is the best thing I could do for my body. I have changed the way I eat and cutting back. I lost 12 pounds within 2 weeks of going back to the doctor. I wanted to get started on not eating like I use to so when they say go I am ready. He says it shouldn't be very long before he hear's from the insurance since I have been on this since the last of February. I sure do hope so. I can't wait.

I have been married for 20 years and have one son who will graduate High School next year.

It is nice to meet you and I hope we can talk again.

Hi Beth...My insurance approval was so fast! They received my papers on Friday the 13th...lol...and I had my approval letter in my hand on Friday, the 20th....only one week later!!

I am in Kansas now, but lived 37 years in NW Indiana...its nice to see a Hoosier on the board (I'll always be a Hoosier at heart!!)

I'll be watching for your "I'M APPROVED" post!!

Beth,

Hello...I am Diann from Texas...Good luck on a quick reply from insurance..I wish that everyone could get this approved with their insurance...Mine was denied...My insurance company will not do anything to help with obesity...so...I just paid for my own...it will be worth every penny that I have spent...I was banded on 4/6/07...I will have the first fill on 5/17/07 ...I have lost a total of 24 lbs..as of this morning...

I am not really waiting on approval they already said they would pay for it. You know that insurance paper work. I am ready when he calls. This is the best thing they have ever came up with. Thanks for replying and I will keep you posted.

This is where I am right now. But want to lose more than I have put down. I think I would look great at 120 since that was what I weighed before. I can't wait to get there!

I weighed 120 pounds once....in 3rd grade!!! :biggrin1:
