OMG, I can't believe it! I just got a call from my surgeon's assistant, and she sent in all my paperwork this morning and got a call just an hour later approving me!! She said they have never had anyone approved so fast. Gosh, I guess the insurance company really thinks I desperately need this, huh?!

I have CareFirst BlueChoice, btw. And I didn't have to do a 6-month diet because I had done Weight Watchers for the last two years and was able to get records of my attendance to show the insurance company.

So there is hope for a quick process! Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be approved SO quickly though! I'm on cloud 9! :glare:

My approval with Empire Blue went pretty quickly. 7 working days. Same thing - they didn't need any records of dieting other than my recollection. We'll probalby get our bands around the same time. I'm hoping to get my date today. Good luck to you!

congratulations, so happy for you, you stay on cloud 9 for as long as you like, you will be so happy seeing the weight come off :glare:
