I just got off the phone with the insurance company and they did approve me today. Now I have to wait until I get the letter and wait to be scheduled. I talked to the doc's office and they will be scheduling me for pre-op as soon as they get the approval letter. But we are shooting for 8/1:eek::eek::frown::crying: Guess I better get started on my pre-op diet.....

Thanks! I am so happy but feeling rushed now. I just found out UHC has set a date for 7/30 for the surgery. That gives me almost no time to do pre-op and no time for pre-op tests. :eek:

Congratulations! Pretty soon they won't be able to say "she sure can dance for a big girl":biggrin: Don't worry about the rush before surgery, you've made it this far you can do anything.

Is that u on your avatar? Watch out there now (in my best old school, old man player voice)

Yep that was back at the age of 18. I was about 125-130 in that pic. *sigh* those were the good ole days.

Congrats Southern Girl!!!:biggrin2::eek::w00t: Maybe both of us can be banded in August!!!

I did find out that the date of 7/30 is just the date the doc's office will give the insurance company so for now we are waiting for the doc's office to get their copy of the letter or if I get mine first I can fax it in so I can get the actual date. I already started my pre-op diet so I am ready.

Congrats!!!:thumbup:

Good Luck with everything!!

Southern Girl!

Congratulations!!!!! Don't worry about rushing, just go with the flow and have a great surgery! Will be sending up prayers for you on the 30th!
