I am new to this forum, but have been read this forum for years. I've tried getting approved for wls twice and each time got denied. They say your third time is a charm because I received that call today and I AM APPROVED!!!!! I have been on this journey for over 15 years and it's here! I am so excited. I know the journey will be challenging, but I'm ready for the ride!

So excited for you! Welcome and please post a lot! I'm bored and need new entertaining threads to read.

That’s great! I have tried each time we changed Insurance finally this year our new insurance will cover it. I have my scope this coming Friday and it is the last thing to do. Once completed they will send everything off for approval. Fingers crossed I will get the answer this month and by the end of next month i’ll Be scheduled for surgery

Congratulations! That is such great news, and it gives me hope as well. It is so annoying that folks like us who have done our research have to be approved by a doctor who thinks they know us better than we know our own needs, but that must make it extra nice when approval finally goes through!

Sherrita and itsonlythefirststep welcome to our forums. So girls what kind of surgery are you planning? I just started a March-April thread last night and there are already March and Spring s leever ones up and running. If you have questions or just want to talk, find me and I'll be sure to answer you. My prerequirements are all done and I'm waiting for My surgeon to give me a good date. Soon would be nice.

I've been praying for you (if that's ok). Sure hope good new comes soon. Did you read the poem I wrote for you on your post where you mention what happened? It was a bit silly and I hope you were ok w it. [emoji250]

[emoji307] it and loved you for,doing it, I seldom feel valued out in the outside world. Love being on Bariatric Pal, people seem to accept me as I am and make me feel like I'm good enough. Yeah I've had a self-esteem problem probably why,i drowned myself in food.
