Insurance Approved Me!

I got my insurance approval letter yesterday (it only took 2 weeks after the request was submitted). Needless to say I am very excited. Hopefully within about 3 weeks I can have surgery. I currently take 6 injections a day for diabetes and am looking forward to the day I am off all medications. I also have issues with ED so I am hoping after I am off all meds and drop a bunch of weight that area gets better also.

This is the 2nd time being in the program. The first time was 2 years ago and about 2/3 the way thru my insurance changed to a policy that didn't cover it so I had to stop after being in the program about 5 months. This past January I purposely switched employers just to get back to the good insurance and it worked. I am a contractor for the federal government so my employer and benefits could change at any time so I have been holding my breath hoping that I could get through the program and the surgery before I get moved to another contract company again.

Congrats!! That's exciting news!

Hubs had the surgery in April and is off blood pressure medicine and his diabetes meds. Although everyone's journey is different, hoping you see the same results.

Good luck!

Congrats! I'm in the waiting for letter or call phase. :)
