My 3 month period is over, after some difficulties getting all the paperwork correct from my PCP it has all been sent to the WLSC. They faxed half of it last week and the rest was sent today (long story!).

While I am waiting for the approval I am continuing my nutritionist and PCP visits so I will still be on track for the 6 mo program that is normally done in case the 3 mo program is denied.

Now I just wait and wait. I was really hoping to have the surgery the first week of August but obviously that won't be able to happen. The insurance said that it could take a month for approval. But I have also read about others being approved within a few days so I am hoping that I will be one of those!

I think this will be the hardest part--just waiting for the approval, this is the big unknown.

I can see that already. Be glad you are as far along as you are. You are doing great.
