The office called and left a message on my cell phone that said "Please call us regarding your insurance." Of course I was just SURE that it was going to be bad news or that they were going to tell me that I needed more tests or a letter of medical necessity (the ins. co. said i needed one and the Dr.s office said I didnt and submitted it with out the letter.) BUT to my surprise she said that my husband has wonderful insurance (glad she thinks so cause noone else seems to:)) and that I had approval and I would be receiving a letter in the next day or two. I was shocked, it only took 3 days for approval once it was finally submitted. So my official date is May 15th!!!! :clap2: I'm nervous and excited all at the same time!!

By the way, my insurance is Oxford Freedom Municipality in case you were wondering.

Congratulations!!! I am 4 days post-op and feeling great. I know you are going to do great also. Will be praying for you.

Congratulations - what a relief! Glad to hear the worst is over, now onto surgery! :fish:

Thanks! :fish: I'm so excited, anxious and nervous but I can't wait for it to be all done.

drekagirl1976- I'm so glad you're doing well and the surgery is all over for you. Thanks for your prayers!

Keluliana- Thank you! Are you already banded or are you waiting?

YAY!!! How exciting!! Now I have to get my approval too so that we really can share a room for our surgery day! LOL

We're ALMOST THERE....... (Miami here we come!!!)

:fish:

Congratts what insurance did you have? I got approval in 3 days as well with BCBD Federal TX. Do you have a date yet?

Congratulations!!!! That is SUPER!! You're gonna be a may bandster!!!!

Congrats to ALL of you! I am still waiting for what I fully expect is the inevitalbe denial of my insurance request. However, that won't stop me because I am fully prepared to bite the proverbial bullet and self-pay (so what if I have to keep my car for another six years!). Every penny, nickel and dime will be money WELL SPENT, and Then SOME!

Congratulations...that Is So Good....i Know You Must Be Excited...may 15th...that Is Just Around The Corner.....yahoo......

Losin'it (Cara): I was banded on April 17, 3 weeks ago this Tuedsday. The first week wasn't pleasant, but it was nothing to the tension of waiting for insurance coverage. One of the few times in my life I was nearly happy to tears was when I got that approval letter!

:clap2: Congrats to you! You will be in bandland before you know it!:clap2:

Thanks everyone for your support and well wishes!! I'm really getting nervous now, only 10 days to go!!! I can't wait to be a May bandster!!!:clap2::clap2::clap2:
