I didn't think I'd EVER be able to say that everything was complete and ready to turn over to my insurance company, but it IS!!!!! I just got a call from the surgeon's office and it was officially submitted yesterday!! Now I just wait. The coordinator believes that I will be approved and hopefully should hear something in the next couple of weeks! I could be banded as soon as 4-5 weeks! I am just so excited to have gotten over the appointments/paperwork/pulling it all together hump!! Yay!!

Good for you...Good luck!

Congratulations girl----good luck with insurance :eek:

Good luck, I can tell you are very excited!

Thanks. I am super excited. I really felt like we'd never be ready to turn it over to insurance. I just noticed that the only punctuation I used throughout that entire post were exclamations!! LOL!!

I just got the same cal today. Everything was submitted today to the insurance company. She said I should here this coming week if I am aproved. She went ahead and set my surgery date for Feb. 26th. I am very nervous about it and excited at the same time. It helps to get on here and have support when the fear creeps in

isn't that a wonderful feeling. I received a called yesterday.....I will get my lap band 2/26. It took exactly 1 week to be approved by UHC. I'm just thrilled!!

Great news! I hope mine is that quick and easy. I'm not scheduled yet, but they told me they are about a month out. I'm assuming that I'll be scheduled when approved so a month from then. Maybe mid to late March??
