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]

I’m waiting not so patiently, I went through the whole process and my Paperwork will be submitted next week I hope they work fast! I’m so anxious.. I’m in California and I hope on getting sleeved.

My paperwork was submitted Thursday. Impatiently waiting in Kentucky.

Where are you doing your surgery?

My paperwork was submitted last week as well. Awaiting approval in Michigan. [emoji1303]

Yay! Where about?

I'm sure you were asking Glowing up but I'll tell you instead where I'm at. I live in Mount Vernon Ohio 14 miles from Ohio's Geographic Center. I'll have my RnY at Mount Carmel in Columbus early-mid March. Now you both know more about me than you probably wanted to. I have a BMI of 45 and I'm 5ft8in, settled down in old age from 5ft11in so yes my back aches too. I'm 72 but I'm it to win just like everyone else. I look forward to spending my remaining years thinner and healthier.

Yes!!! As soon as I got the notice that the approval was submitted to the insurance, I was nervous & excited at the same time. I'm ready for this new chapter of my life!

So one of you is Spartie's daughter and the other? Saginaw makes me think of Lefty Frizzel's song about being the Son of a Saginaw Fisherman. At any rate good wishes to both of you and may we all have surgical success.
