 They submitted to my insurance (United Healthcare) on Friday.  I received approval today!

Still have a pre-op class, a 2 week shake diet, and a surgeon visit to schedule surgery to go.

YAY! I'm so happy for you. I know it's such a relief to actually know you can do the surgery.

You're lucky, took BC/BS of IL 3 1/2 weeks to get me approved but it's such a great feeling when it's done isn't it!! Just had my pre-op class yesterday, start my 2 wk diet 5-25 and surgery is 6-8. I could have it sooner but I have a big audit at work that I need to handle and since this is an elective surgery I figured I should really be here for it. But it gives me more time to learn before surgery! lol  Congratulations - the time will fly and you'll be home post-op before you know it!!

YAY for you!!! I just did the class yesterday, my surgeon visit is tomorrow and getting sleeved next thursday!

Been on the shake diet for 7 days and I promise you that the first 3 days are the hardest, just be strong and stay busy, when u get the urge to go to the fridge, go do something else, like workout, paint your toenails or go for a walk. becasue its all head hunger and it will go away!

Good Luck!!!!

Yayyy!!! It's such a good feeling to be "approved."  Do you have any idea when you're going to have surgery? 
The will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot protect you.

I was lucky and got my approval in less than 1 day. Apparently my insurance company turns the approvals aroung quickly which is good for me because I was unsure if I was going to be approved. I went for my pre-op and class today and my VSG is next Wed!
