Well I have my 6mths supervised diet under my belt.

I had called my insurance to see if they got the charts for my approval. They said they send it out to a cert. place for approval. So I called them. The girl was awesome! She said they didnt have it yet and to call back at my Docs and that she would do the same. So I went out to mow and I had a message from the insurance lady from my docs office. She said she called also...and found out...my insurance dont send it to the cert. place anymore. My dh's work company has a lady that goes through it now for their company. Sooooooooooooo she said the process will take maybe 1-3 weeks instead of the 4-6 orginally. I asked her what she thought my chances were...so she got my chart and said with my BMI she cant see any reason why I wouldnt be approved. So now I have my hopes up...but trying to calm myself down and not set myself up for disappointment.

I weigh 317 now...and Im so ready to lose weight! :thumbup:

:thumbup:Congratulations!

September marks month 2 of my 6 month insurance required supervised diet. I am so looking forward to the day where I am where you are.

Any tips on making it through the 6 months?

i love love love your screen name!!!

i started at 312.5 -- it's coming off slowly but surely.

keep us posted!

I started at 330 BMI 50.2 and 1 doctor refused to band me because he said I was too big. I have another doctor and my band date is Oct 13. I know it will be a slow process to reach my goal, but it will be worth it.

Wow, I am surprised that someone refused to band you. Good for you for getting a different surgeon.
