From a 12 month insurance wait to.... NONE. I am approved!!!

[FluffySaysForkIt! 823]

Well, I am officially APPROVED and scheduled for my RNY on June 3rd!

For those of you that saw my introduction, I had mentioned that I had a weird insurance deal (small company policy) that made it questionable as to how long of a supervised weight loss was required. It was written as if it was 12 months, and I kind of settled into that in my mind as just how it would be. However, my insurance nurse is awesome. She really stepped up for me and worked so hard to clear the road blocks. Amazing....

So now I have a kind of mental whiplash, but a good one!

Feeling excited, nervous and above all else, BLESSED.

Awesome. I have a six month wait. I must see my nutritionists for 4 more visits then I'm scheduled. Good luck.

Great news! I had brutal insurance before that required a 12 month supervised program and made me use a key fob to track all of my exercises at a hospital gym (the results of which were sent electronically weekly). All of these hoops. I made it 5 months into that program but wasn't seeing the weight loss they were going to ask of me and gave up. Four years later, I work somewhere else with a new insurance with zero wait or requirements and finally got it done. Good luck with your surgery!!

That sounds awful! So glad you were able to get some insurance that wasn't so ridiculous and get it done!

Also- I LOVE the "but did you die" LOL!
