Amazing news...

I as a person am always cautiously optimistic.

I am very positive but try to be realistic.

So, I am proud to say MY INSURANCE HAS OFFICIALLY APPROVED MY SURGERY!!! Thrilled and a bit shocked !

    I remember that feeling when I first got that news. I was pretty sure they were going to approve me, but until I had it in my hand and could schedule my surgery, it was still scary! Congrats! HUGS

  • @Nurse_Lenora- Congratulations! What a relief, hu? I'm sorry this is in blue but I dont know how to get it to black. How long did it take for the insurance to approve you and do you have any co-morbid conditions (if you don't mind me asking). Thanks

That's fantastic!

I feel the same way you did (and I get these approved for a living, I think I know what will be approved and what won't, y'know?).

Good luck!

After we faxed the request to the correct fax number it took 2 working days to be approved. I do not have any co- morbidities

Congratulations and good luck on your surgery. :) ;) :P :D :lol: B) :rolleyes: ;-)

Congratulations! Pretty exciting, right?

AHHHHHH WOOOO! Congrats! :D

Congratulations!! My surgery is scheduled for end of February. Good luck!!!

Thank you all!

I am so happy for you. I distinctly remember the day I opened the letter from my health plan and it was the approval for the surgery. I really thought it was an EOB or something silly...imagine my shock! I felt glorious that day! Still do actually............it's lovely to be 99lbs down!
