Jumped through the hoops and over the hurdles and was approved by insurance. The preliminary date is May 15th. Nervous and excited! Wish me luck.

Congratulations!

I'm still waiting to hear about approval from my insurance company, so I can get a date. Being patient is so hard. I keep thinking,"Will the surgery day ever come?"

Good luck with your surgery! Maybe someday soon, I'll be on the losers bench too!?

I have the same date Twinsie.

Frustrating update. I love the staff at the weight loss clinic at my hospital. They have been part of my life now for 2 plus years. I like my surgeon but his scheduler is driving me crazy. I called insurance on a Friday and was told I was approved. The next Wednesday I received a letter in the mail. Friday called the office and asked about scheduling. She says she has no idea as she hasn't checked her mail. She will check and call me back. Nothing.....called her the next Wednesday (and she says the 15th is already booked (?they are the ones that set that date?), it would have to be the May 8th or in June. I can't do the 8th (I have to travel that week but I also don't want to wait until June! She says she will talk to the doctor about the 19th since he is on call that weekend anyway.

Call this morning and she hasn't talked to him! I need to make some plans here. I will be out of commission for 3 weeks! I have a job that I need to plan around. This is serious stuff!

OK. Feel better now.
