Approved!!

Thread Starter  

I hope that I dont sound like I am gloating or boasting, I truely am not, but I have been approved today for the lap! UHC approved me in just 1 week. I am so excited and grateful (and just a lil' scared). I am new to this site, but have learned that many prospective patients are forced to jump through hoops before getting approved. I almost feel guilty. Dr. Snow's office (Stephanie) made it very painless. My wife and I are going to sit down tonight and choose the best date for us. Luckily I have plenty of sicktime at work, so time is on my side. Thanks for this great site, I have learned SO much information here. For those of ya'll still waiting for approval, my heart and prayers go out to ya'll. I will post often.

If anyone understand how exciting it is to get approved, we do! Congratulations! (I usually tell people my approval was embarrassingly easy...I think they might have stamped, "It's about time!" on my paperwork! Good luck, Cindy

Congratulations Landry's Dad.

Mousecrazy, I figure my PCP was thinking to himself "It's about time!" when I told him I was getting the LAP-BAND^® because I never remember to take the blood pressure medicine he gives me and always ask what else I can do to keep from having to take medicine and he says.....loose some weight and stop smoking would be a good start.
