Aaahhh! So, I finally did my last labs (that my insurance required) on Tuesday and my surgeon's office called yesterday morning to tell me they had my approval! I can't believe it went so quickly. Great way to start my family's vacation I still have a few things to do before surgery (scope, one more class and a couple more labs) but it'll be here before you know it. My date is October 21st. (I have BC/BS Blue Choice of Iowa)

Wow congrats and soon you will have a new you and off and running around with more energy than you could remember. Keep us posted on your progress and congrats on your choice to be healthy.

Congrats!!!!!!! that feeling u get when u know u are approved...all is right with the world..lol

Congrats to you. I got my approval on the 28th. I was shocked because my insurance coordinator had barely submitted on the 26th.

Thank you everyone! My husband and I were so excited, we were like kids at Christmas! Now that I have a date I see light at the end of my tunnel. I started the process in Jan 2013 but after a couple months we realized it was going to be too expensive for our family. Fast forward a year, new job w/better insurance and here we are. The wait has made me better prepared I think though! Can't wait to make my "Sleeved!" post
