My package was submitted to my insurance last week. A hospital authorization popped up on my insurance record dated 1/18. Not sure what that means, but I'm just patiently waiting for my insurance decision, whether an approval or denial. I'm the most impatient person so the wait is killing me.

I figure, if approved, I'll probably be scheduled for mid to late March. I really can't believe how quickly the last 6 months have gone, but these last few weeks are dragging by. My final appointment was last Monday but seems like last year.

This site is a great source of information. I can't tell you how much of a help it has been through this journey. [emoji3]

Yes. I'm halfway through the nutrition classes.

Who is your doctor? My doctor is in Tampa. I only had to meet with a nutritionist once. How many classes do you have??

I'm going through Tampa General. I have to do 6 months of nutrition/supervised weight loss (I have 3 left) and then the appts with the nutritionist, psychologist, NP and exercise physiologist.

Yeah, I had to do the 6 month weight loss too for insurance, but only one nutrition class.

I just want my insurance approval!! I'm so impatient.

Good luck!
