I GOT APPROVED!

I just called the insurance company and a wonderful girl put me on hold and came back and said I was approved. I said to her "So you're telling me I'm approved?" and she said yes, gave me an authorization number and then I told her I loved her!! I feel awesome! Thanks to ALL who had me in their prayers & thoughts...you'll continue to be in mine!!!

congrats, what insurance do you have? I was waiting on my approval and found out monday they are now demanding a psych eval so my plans of being banded aug 4th isnt going to happen cause I cant get to psych eval till the 31st :thumbs_down:

:thumbs_down::thumbup: That is great!!! I am very happy for you!

Nina.

I have Horizon BCBS of NJ. When I went to meet for the surgeon the 1st time in February, the nurse gave me a list of all requirements that the insurance co would need for me to be approved. Can't you move your psych appt up??? I'm thinking about you!!

Congratulations the best of luck. I watched a show last night on the Discovery Health Channel, I didn't know it existed till last night. It's called "Big Medicine" about people going through bypass surgery and plastic surgery to tighten up their skin. I think they may also do lap bands. Have to wait to see more shows. I watched a bypass being done, and am so glad I chose Lapband LOL.

Congrats! I was also approved today. I has taken me 3 months to finally get my answer. During that time I didnt know my paper work was lost and once it was fax to them this week it only toke two days to get my approval.

Thanks soooo much everyone!!! I am THRILLED to say the least!!

congrats!!

Congrats!! I was approved yesterday too - wonderful feeling, isn't it? :thumbup: Frightening, yet joyous.

Lisa,

You are SOOO right! I am happier than words can say, but now it's FOR REAL and a bit of nerves are setting in, but I want this so bad! Congrats & good luck to you!!
