Hi All,
I'm waiting for my insurance to approve surgery. I have been reading here and at OH like crazy, watching video's on youtube.....I can't get enough info in. I even have been dreaming about surgery.....crazy, I know!
I cannot wait to start my 2 week pre-op liquid prep, and get this thing going!!!!
Thanks to everyone here for all being so open an honest, I'm sure your information will become even more valuable as I approach surgery and begin my "new" life.
:heart:

    Hang in there! There is a TON of paperwork and hoops to jump through, but I found it well worth it!

    Congrats on getting your date!
  • So I saw you're approved and scheduled for 10/8. Awesome! That was one of the hardest things for me, going through the 6 month medically supervised weight loss and not knowing if I would be approved by my insurance or not (my stats were kind of borderline). Once it was actually submitted I was approved in 5 days and then had surgery within 2 weeks. My best to you and let me know if you have an questions I can help with!
