HI - I have been reading all of your posts for a couple of months or so now however I just signed up today. I have already seen my surgeon, seen the psych and the NUT and I confirmed with my insurance company that they got all the paperwork last Tuesday so this Tuesday 3/31 will be one week. They give a two week turn so I should know by April 7th...if I am approved... oh gosh I hate to wait.... I feel like I am so ready to get going on this new adventure for the rest of my life. (looks like when my approval comes thru, I might be scheduled for beginning of May for surgery)

I really appreciate how open and honest everyone is and feel like I have learned a lot of tips and great advice along the way. Just wanted to say Thank you for all the inspiration and Good Luck to everyone!!

Any one else playing the waiting game as well???

Hi im also waiting on insurance I have bluecare network and I'm in Michigan I've done everything they asked now the long wait nervously waiting on a date had to do 7 months of nut appointments psychological exam etc I'm soo ready

Question? Does your 6 month wait period start once the paperwork is sent to the insurance company (meaning PSY testing) or when the first Initial visit?

HI - no I was lucky that they did not require the six month NUT visit, not exactly sure why... but I'm not going to question it. Don't want them to change their mind.

Oh ok... I'm praying for a miracle! I'm ready for a change and the time and days are going by slowly! Good luck on your journey!

It depends my bmi is 41 I've heard if it's over 50 they give you a pass on the nut appointments but if you have to see one it starts on your second visit to the nut
