I began my journey on November 11, 2016 and quickly completed all my prerequisites. I had my consultation with my surgeon on Monday and sent in my paperwork to the insurance company Tuesday. I got a call Tuesday evening that I was approved and surgery was next week on the 18th!!!!! I'm so suprised how fast this is moving but I can't wait!

Congratulations! But with such a quick turnaround, you will have to work extra hard at the whole "changing your habits" part. Good luck with it!

I had a fast one too, from my dr consult to surgery was barely two weeks. I'm now two weeks post op. Feeling pretty good, word of advice if you drink caffeine cut it now. The headaches are terrible from withdraws. Worse than the pain from the surgery

Hi Justme not sure if this was asked yet. How did it go with your final approval? I have Humana also and just curious how quick the process is. Seemed like it was moving along terrifically for you. Did you get a date? Thanks Ally in Florida and good luck.

Hi AllysonB during the whole progress I kept on top of my paperwork and made sure it was all completed. They require you to lose 5% of your body weight before they will schedule and I completed that before my consultation with my surgeon. They then submitted my paperwork the day after that consultaction and my insurance approved it the next morning. They knew I wanted to have my surgery before March but told me it would be in February. They called the day it was approved and scheduled me for January 18th! Drove into the city yesterday for all of my preoperative testing and am all ready for next week! I have Blue Cross Blue Shield MA and they said they usually have a fast turnaround.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
