Approved!!!!!

I can’t believe it I got a call this afternoon to let me know I am approved and my insurance (BCBS TX Federal Basic) will be paying at 100%!!!! I have an appointment Thursday to complete my pre-op testing and then next Thursday I meet with the surgeon. Then I get to schedule my surgery for 2 to 3 weeks after I meet with the surgeon. So hopefully by the end of May I will be banded! I am stoked!!!! Good luck to those of you still waiting!

I did not have to do a supervised diet or provide 5 years of medical history. I can’t believe this is finally happening. I have been wanting to do this for the last few years and my insurance just started covering it in January.

Happy dance!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
