Kelly,

AMAZING.....You should post these on OH's before and after pictures....WOW what a change....Not only have you lost weight but you look younger, happier, and much healthier I'm sure....

Love ya girl, Congrats.....Kel

Once I got approval from my insurance company, things moved fast!  I met my surgeon within a week, and he had an opening in 10 days!  So, from approval to surgery date was less than 3 weeks.

If still available - I would graciously accept!!  I have a close friend having her baby any day now and would appreciate the baby items.  I don't use much protein stuff, but am certainly up for trying some.  Let me know! 

Thanks!

Kelly

Let's see ..... I got insurance approval the very end of January. Nothing was said about going thru the financial office. I was given a choice of surgery dates and picked March 4. I had work stuff I needed to take care of in February. It felt like everything went really fast at the end. After starting almost a year earlier, I almost felt like I wasn't ready yet.

So, to answer you question, insurance approval, no financial office stuff, surgery really soon after approval. 

I found out this past Friday that I was approved by my insurance company....yep, I called the insurance company myself to find out....yeah for me...I called the surgery scheduler this morning to see if I could get on the schedule and she said that the approval needs to go through the financial office first before I can schedule a date...I have met my maximum out of pocket for the year so I won't have any out of pocket expense for this surgery...

My question for you is how long did it take for you to get a date once your insurance approved your surgery??...I am itching at the bit to get a date on the calendar...especially since I know that it was approved....I just hope that the financial office doesn't drag their feet because the surgery scheduler is waiting the the approval from them....ughhhhh...I am dealing with Essentia Health in Duluth....they have been awesome to deal with so far.....
