19 Days untill Surgery 5 Days untill Pre-Op

This is really going to happen. I have been overweight my whole life and I am so close to ending my battle with it. My life is about to change as I know it. I just dont want to let my self down. I need to be here for my family. They give me strength. I can do this. The feeling of knowing that you have dreamed of something your whole life and now its about to happen is unreal. I have to pinch myself to realize that I have worked hard to get to this point and I have a lot more hard work ahead.

Weight Watchers

I am needing to show that I was on Weight Watchers. I no longer have my book that they give you to track your weight. I called Weight Watchers and they faxed me a receipt of what moths i paid to be on the program. Do you know if that will work for Aatna?

Waiting for approval

I am now just waiting for approval form the insurance. I have done all that they ask and require but I am still worried that I will be denied coverage. Has anyone ever been denied even though it is a covered procedure?

What would you do?

Ok so here it is. I have everything I need done just need paperwork sent to insurance. I have spoken with them many times. The lady I spoke with yesterday has had lap band as well. She told me “once you do what we require for pre certification we are very quick to approve you for lap band”. So my question is I already have to have my gallbladder taken out and that is set for Aug. 4th. I have flare ups but I can live with it most days. If I get a call that says you have been approved you surgery is in 3-4 weeks what do I do. I have to have 6 weeks between the surgeries. Would you move your gallbladder surgery and have lap band done sooner or would you wait and have lap band done at the end of Septerber or October?

And So It Begings...

I have my first appt with my Surgeon in one week. I am so excited I can’t wait. I have already done all the stuff the insurance makes you do to get approval so now it’s just meet the doc and wait for approval. Does anyone know Dr. Malley? If you do let me know what you think of him.
