Just hang in there through the process. I am so sorry that things are not going like they should. I know you may have to go through a long process but the good thing time will fly. I started this journey in January and I thought that this 6 months was a lifetime away and now I am 2 months away from the end. I think I am getting butterflies in my stomach. If you need to chat just PM me anytime.

wow. paying i did think about paying out of pocket but then i found my surgeons office who has a team that only does insurance approvals. they have a 98% approval rating, and got me approved with no problem. i didnt even have to do the 6 month diet. it is an extremely life changing surgery. i am soooo happy i did it young and wont have to worry about being a fat adult. by far one of the best decisions i have made.
did you ever thinking about finding a different dr??

Well thats great, its good to feel confident in your decisions. I too am so excited, a little anxious, but i havent second guessed myself either (yet). I was just thinking today about how one day, just a few hours actually, will change the rest of my life! I wish you lots and lots of luck!

Congrats! How exciting, I cant wait to get my date. Are you nervous that it is ACTUALLY happening now? I kind of feel like my biggest thoughts right now are losing that 20 pounds and getting approved. Last night I was thinking about actually having the surgery and to be honest I was excited of course but also very scared! Keep me posted I am soooooo happy for you!!!!

yea im super excited. i was wanting a date in may since I would be out of school for summer break then, but it doesnt look like that is going to happen.

Its been sorta strange because after reading everyones posts getting approved seems like a huge drawn-out issue. so far I have had to have some basic evals and blood work done but so far its been basic and overall simple. I just hope that when i go in for my next appointment they dont tell me i am going to have to do all this other stuff. That would suck!!!!

So how far are you in the process?

Me too! I have done my psych eval, met with a nutritionalist, etc. My doctor said that as soon as she has my psych results in they would submit for approval for my insurance. I have an appointment on the 24th of this month with my surgeon and hopefully i will get a date??? The process so far has been pretty quick, she told me i needed to lose about 20 pound and am down 14- so a few more to go! How are you doing so far?
