I got the call today from the hospital program I am working with that I was cleared by the nutritionist, psychologist, and fitness instructor. So they are putting in the request forms for insurance approval!

I just can't stand 10-15 business day wait!!!

Fingers crossed for approval!

Waiting is the hard part! I'm currently waiting and I wish it would be acceptable to call them everyday, haha. ???? But nonetheless, it's still exciting to know our surgeries are right around the corner.

Oh, I am sure they know my voice by heart. I have called with questions or concerns a good number of times over the last few weeks. I am just excited that the ball is rolling!

You are getting yours done in October!!! Wow! That IS right around the corner, lucky!

I believe I'm going to be an October surgery, but won't get the date until approval goes through. If not, definitely November!

I have BCBS AL , my BMI is 41.8 , and I have severe sleep Apnea. I have completed my 6 months and all the other doctors visits, along w/ my PCP letter . They submitted my paper work last Thursday. I'm really nervous they wont accept it and all this time and money is at a loss :( Anyone else out there have BCBS Al and the wait time for approval or denial?

I was approved in 3 business days by Anthem BCBS in CA. I finally received my surgery date, 12/08/15, so I'm in my 9 week wait.

I'm waiting too. I have United Health Care and have been calling daily for status updates. I can't help myself. The waiting 2-15 days is horribly hard.

I'm waiting too. It's been 15 (calendar) days since my surgery center submitted for insurance approval. I have UHC and that will not be covering my clinic next year. I weigh 247 (down from 256) and am 5'5". I checked today and UHC confirms they received the request but hadn't processed it yet. I keep having doubts like "you should be able to lose this weight without surgery" but I have tried for so many years (and sometimes succeeded temporarily) that I know without drastic change I will just keep returning to my old behaviors. It's been over 10 years since I've been under 200 lbs, and it's taking a huge toll on my low back and knees. I'm so ready to move without being in pain!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
