I have been contacted and told that my case was submitted to my insurance company for approval! I am sooo excited! Seems like it has taken forever to get to this point! Now everyone please please please send happy thoughts and wishes for a quick turn around! If I hear back early enough this week I will have surgery May 5th... if later in the week then I'm looking at May 12th (The surgeon only does lap band on Monday)... Ugh.. the torture continues... I'm ready now!

Waiting for my official date!

Good Luck I am getting ready to submit into the insurance company as well. I am just trying to get all my Dr.'s to write letters. So I am hoping this Friday to submit.

I wish you all the best in the world...my paper work was submitted on Friday and was approved today....what insurance company do u have?

Got everything crossed for you!! Good Luck!

I have Aetna POS Choice II. My Dr. just received my last medical records. So hopefully this Friday we can submit!

Ok i have my fingers crossed for u... x

hello. I know how you feel. I still have another month before I get submitted to the insurance company. I started this journey on Dec. 26,'07 so I am READY. I have dropped 24 pounds on the pre-op eating plan and have cut portions drastically and eating more fruits and veggies. less breads and high carbs and fried stuff. I am getting anxious about the whole process.

Good luck and keep us posted. Have a wonderful day.

My fingers and toes are crossed for you. Much good luck to you and I hope you have a fast approval. God Bless You.
