After driving the insurance coordinator at my Dr.'s office, my insurance company, my best friend, my husband and myself crazy for the last week in anticipation of possible declination of coverage... I finally got confirmation today that I am APPROVED!!!! Yeah!!!

I am so excited I can barely stand myself. I called my surgeon's office to set up my next appointment and schedule a surgery date but no one has called me back yet. I am sure I am in more of a hurry than they are but hopefully in the next couple weeks I will have a banding date!!!

I will keep everyone in my prayers who is waiting for approval and those of you who are fighting appeals.

I got my cardiac testing results back today and thanks to God they were normal. Tomorrow morning my medical doctor will be faxing the support letter and the last month notes to my six month supervision diet. They will then send this into my insurance company. She said it usually takes 3 to 5 days for an answer. Next will be a surgeon appt and set a date. It is getting close. I am having happy and sad feelings. Congratulations on all of your approvals and date scheduled. :redface:

That's great Tracie.

My paperwork was just sent to my insurance (Carefirst BCBS) this week and I'm in the waiting phase now. It's very reassuring to hear from folks like yourself that have been approved. I hope that I get my great news in the next couple weeks!

I look forward to seeing your progress and hope I'll be progressing right along with ya (lol) :crying:
