OH MY!!!!!!!! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED, I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN IT!

Got my approval from BCBS of MN today...after a week and a half of waiting....then call from surgeon to schedule surgery!

OCTOBER 12TH CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so ready for this new chapter in my life to begin! I know it will take work, etc....but for today....I am just going to bask in my happiness!

Congrats????????

thanks ladydee3!

Congrats... Can't wait for my big day....how long did your process take?

Thanks! When is your surgery?

I first saw the surgeon July 13th....also saw the nutritionist that day as well. From there, I had to see the psych dr and that was on 7/31 and then my pre-op class on the 6th of august. Submitted to insurance on the 7th, EGD on the 12th and got insurance approval today.

Keep in mind that I had already been seeing a nutritionist on my own before I even decided to seek the surgical route...that helped a lot. My insurance required 6 mos (3 consecutive mos) of seeing a nutritionist.

My surgeons office has been a total help in getting through all I could as quickly as I could, but if I didn't have the 6 most done...then that would have been hard for me to start over again. Thankfully, I didn't have to.

hi congrats on your surgery. Who is your provider if you don't mind me asking. I have HealthNet and I haven't seen much of them on this blog page. I'm nervous.I don't think I get my surgery until next year. I have to do the whole 6 month wait period. I started in July and don't go back to my doctor until Jan. I did the Physical Therapy and started Nutrician. I'm bummed; i know time goes by fast but so discouraged by how long out i have to wair.

Congrats! and good luck

Congrats happy for you

Thanks all!

I have BCBS
