Just got approved!!!! Woo hoo!!!! I am so excited!!! The medically supervised diet went by really fast and I ended up losing 11 1/2 lbs. Now I'm just waiting for the person to call me that sets the appointments & schedules surgery dates! I'm anxious to finally get a surgery date and work on getting the old me back to healthy and happy!

Awesome ! Good Luck and and keep us posted.

Thank you!! I will do!

Congrats on the milestone! I learned yesterday that I too was approved and surgery was set up with that phone call.

I had to sit down when she told me... I was not certain I had enough comorbidities and BMI combo to get insurance to agree. It was surreal. In my late 30s, after trying for baby #2 and going through fertility treatments etc, I had given up on the thought of us having two kids. Got rid of all the baby stuff, built a home, got a puppy... And bam, learned I was pregnant. It was a very similar feeling to me...like the impossible just happened.

Anyhow, it is all just sinking in. I need to make some time tomorrow to let it sink in. I know how happy you must be and I wish you great fabulous experiences along the way!!!

Good luck Jodi & auntjanny! Hope to get my date on Friday.

Congrats your almost there keep us posted.

Thank you ladies! Auntjanny~ That is awesome news!!! I'm excited for you too! The only reason that I didn't get a date yet, I called insurance to find out. It is so hard to be patient. But, now I have to wait for the doctor's office to call me back to set up everything. Waiting isn't my strong point. Ha ha!

Congratulations! Having my surgery next Tuesday. Will keep everyone posted.

Congrats. I hope to hear something within the week. Cheers to u

My coworker called the office herself and told them she was approved. They called to confirm and scheduled the surgery the same day. Call the doctor's office and tell them.

Congratulations & Good Luck!

congratulations!!!

Got my approval today and see the surgeon on Monday ,, start pre op on tues , so congrates to everyone !!

congrats to all ... still waiting for confirmation of 9/05 surgery date ... waiting isn't easy for me either ... but good things come to those who wait ... I'm also having trouble getting the advocate to call me back ... I think I'll take the advise and check for myself and try to contact the advocate again ...

good luck everyone ...
