It's starting to look like the end of the tunnel! Called my doctors office yesterday afternoon to check progress of my pre determination and was told it would be an additional 30 days for review (which completely bummed me out). I call my insurance later that night and they tell me 'oh, we sent a letter out to your doctors office today that states it is a medical necessity and you are approved' WHOOP WHOOP!! So now I'm waiting to call the doctor 1st thing Tuesday morning to see when they can schedule me... I'm nervous now but so excited

Congrats! I am also in Chicago (if that is what your name implies). My surgeon was a month out after I got approved so be prepared. Good luck and I hope they can get you in soon!!

Thanks so much! I was wanting to have it done before the end of Feb so you've given me some hope for making my wish come true???? (I'm from Chicago but recently moved to Houston TX). Were you a sleeve also?

Hi Chi2Htown. I'm in the Houston area and scheduled for surgery on February 10th. Who is your surgeon?
