I just got the call that I am approved. I am in total shock. I honestly thought deep down that I would be denied. I thought somewhere along the way I missed something. I am ready for this and I am beyond happy. I will even admit that I cried tears of joy telling my husband. Waiting for insurance was the longest 9 days of my life but to hear a yes on the other end of the phone is the absolute best feeling. Each week I read another person say they were approved and have waited for 6 months for it to be my turn. Loser's club here I come

@@funkecoldmedina HOORAY! Congratulations, that is such great news!!! I can't wait to hear when your actual surgery date is!

Congrats! Know that is a great feeling!

I got that information too. October 20th. My surgeon is a pretty popular guy so I will have to wait a bit longer than I had hoped for but honestly just knowing this is happening is life changing. I did not know hearing a yes would feel this good

Congratulations!

Yeah! Congratulations!

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you that I can feel your excitement!! That is fabulous news! I am hoping incan jump on your bus real soon myself!????????????

Congrats! When I got approved, I felt relief, excitement, and anxiety all in one. I am now two weeks away from my surgery, and now all I feel is excitement and anxiety!

That is awesome.

The wonderfully radiant smile in your avi pic will be ever--present now !!!!

October 20th is really close.

@@toasty I am one week away from my surgery and all I feel is anxiety right now LOL The excitement is still there, it's just in the anxiety's shadow!!

Congrats to everyone! I love happy threads

Thank you everyone! It really is the best feeling and I am so happy for the people who have gotten to experience it and the people who will

Congratulations! It will be a much smoother process than you ever imagined! The worst part is over already.... wondering if it can happen for you.

Congrats!! My paperwork will be submitted the end of next week. So nervous...

@@larac05 I know what you mean. It is scary to know that all of your hard work comes down to a final decision and waiting sucks. My best advise it to keep good thoughts and stay busy!!!! Definitely stay busy Best of luck!

I'm still waiting to hear from insurance for a reversal from a lapband to RNY. I was denied last year and I will probably be denied again. But I'm ready to fight! congrats on your approval!

Congratulations!
