I had my first consult yesterday.  It went very good.  My BMI was 40.5 so according to the lady I spoke with yesterday I should have no issues getting approved.  My First consult with the surgeon i chose is Jan 22.  I'm so excited to get the process started.  Hopefully I will have insurance approved and a surgery date set in the next few months.  i just hope this entire process goes quickly and smoothly.

Sounds good.  Hopefully your insurance process will be smooth and you won't have to jump through too many hoops.  Seems like the process last forever but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  Welcome aboard.  angry

I remember thinking the process was so slow--then all of a sudden my surgery date was here.  Good luck with your insurance approval.  That's the biggest hurdle.
