I called my insurance today... I have been stalking them all last week, and apparently it has been approved since the 20th, the lady I talked to didn't know what she was talking aobut!

Ok... so now... I am terrified. LOL I don't know why, I expected to be approved and now I am scared. LOL I'm such a nut job!

Congrats, do you have a surgery date yet?

It is my experience that the CSR's at insurance companies are clueless, at least when it comes to bariatric surgery. I called mine and was told I would probably be denied because I had used an out-of-network provider for my 6 month diet and for my psych eval. Heck all that means is I used someone who didn't take their insurance and had to pay out of pocket. They accept Weight Watchers for the diet, and wouldn't that be out of network? Anyway, I was having a meltdown, trying to call my surgeon's office. They were trying to call me to tell me I had been approved. My advice? Stalk the surgeon's staff, not your insurance. They have been dealing with this for a long time, and can tell you better than the CSR (who in the beginning told me my insurance only covered bypass, which was also wrong).

They acutally scheduled me for Feb 27th, but my 7 mo old son is having some minor surgery on March 4th and I want to be well for that, so I rescheduled for March 20th I am excited...but really nervous!
