Submitting to insurance today

I went to my last doctor appointment until my surgery. Now they submitt my paperwork to the insurance and I get my appointment with the surgeon and set a date. It sooooo real now. I am very excited. Not too nervous yet, but I am sure that will come very soon. I am looking at mid-October (hopefully sooner if my insurance is a quick approval)

Good luck! My insurance gave me an answer in 5 days. I will pay that yours does the same or even faster!

I'm so excited for you! Big stuff!  Hopefully we'll be hitting the bench at the same time next month. 

Good luck!  Getting approved has been the hardest and most frustrating part for me - just remember, if the first response is not a positive one - I had to file 2 appeals and finally my doctor had to have a peer review in order to have it approved...so no matter what - keep fighting if you have to!

My surgery is scheduled for 9/17.

I hope it is approved quickly. Since my insurance cancelled the 6 month dr supervised diet requirements I have just asked my Surgeon's office to resubmitt my paperwork again. I will keep my fingers crossed for the both of us!

That is great Jules! we might be right together then :) Good luck and hope yours goes fast.
Thanks everyone. I sure hope I get a quick turn around. 5 days would be wonderful. I have everything done (all tests, psych, nutritionist, doc). So, I am hoping soon. I am so ready for this. I finally feel there is a light at the end of my obesity tunnel. I am so ready to start living life.
