First step in the right direction

I go today for my first seminar and I can't wait. I have been reading up on everything for the past 4 days and I am ready to get it done, but the only issue i for see is my ins company Aetna that will give me any issues. I have done almose every diet out there and I do have a log of the most curent one done. so i am really hoping this will be good enough to get me in fast. but if i have to wait then i have to wait. Cant rush a good thing i guess. lol. I can't sleep i am so excited about going.   latter. Will post when i get back today about noon central time. :wink:

A no go for me with Aenta

well I was told yesterday that due to my past BMI i do not "pass" qulifacation for my ins. so i have to go self pay. it is just wrong i jumped through all those hoops for nothing and I could have already financed the surgery and been on my way to my new life. now i am getting ready to start new job on Oct 25 and my hubby still needs a job. so I am not sure if i will be able to get the surgery this year, but next year is not far off. I will call the LAP-BAND® place today to see if they have some words of wisdom!!?? I sure do pray they do!!!!!! will let you know latter on tonight what is going on. thanks. :ohmy::cursing::w00t::frown::crying:

Calendar page full of appointments

Well i have everything in place this month that the ins company wants done. so I hope next month I will know if i am approved or not for surgery. I have a feeling deep down they will say no. but i just keep praying they help me. I am excited about doing a sleep study. i love traveling and sleeping in really nice hotels. I hope this place is nice. I will not be posting until the end of this month when I get done with all my testing and phyic test. I wish everyone the best in there jorney's. :thumbup:

One day at a time

It is not easy waiting on Dr. appointments and wondering if you will be approved or not. just nerve racking, it is. But I am going on with my mission, even though i do not see any light at the end of my tunnel. Got to get moving to start my day. Best of luck to you all. :thumbup:

Everything is on hold

well I am now just going to wait and see what i can do. (again) but this time I will be getting a horse!!!!! I have always wanted one but just kept talking myself out of it, but now i go this weekend to ride one and see if i like and if i like i will get to pick her up in 3 weeks when she is done with her traning. and i am going to Dr (pcp) in a bit to see if there is a diet pill i can do for a bit to help me go in the right direction. so best of luck to me!! I want the band still but I can wait. i have waited my whole life whats a little longer. :thumbup:

going through the motions

My PCP is ordering me a sleep study. I told him that my past weight did not go along with Aenta's guide lines and he just looked at my file, so not sure if i do or not. lol. I am stressed about it though. why cant they (aenta) just give a simple yes or no and not have everyone jumping though hoops!. ugh. well i feel a little better now thanks.

not looking good

Well I did the sleep study and i only stoped breathing once and got low oxengen the rest of the times so my PCP said i have low to moderate sleep apneya. so we will see. I go in for my 2nd weigh in next week. I cant wait for them to send all the infomation over to ins. so stressful!. :thumbup::confused::sad:so bottom line is my BMI is 36 and i dont really have a co-morbility i have high blood pressure but they dont want to put me on any other meds because i am on so many already. so nothing to really justify the surgery except i am over weight and feel awefull. we will see what Aenta says latter on. :thumbup:
