    September Bandsters

    My surgery date is Sept. 29, pending approval from my insurance. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. My orginial date was the end of July but due to work circumstances I couldn't take any time off. I feel like I lost some motivation since having to wait and with all these pre-op tests that need to be done. So glad to connect with people on here facing the same issues. Thanks to all of you!!!!!
  6. Echocargiogram today and upper endoscopy next Wed. And a stress test after that---All I know is this better be it!!!! I am sick of all these tests

  12. I have been doing the exact same thing!!! I try really hard and I am good for a few days and then I mess up and keep messing up! You would think that I will never be able to eat again at this rate I have all thee foods and restaurants I want to go to before my surgery Sept. 29. Thats such not a good and healthy way of thinking. I really know better, so what the heck is my problem?
  13. I am glad to hear that Aetna approved you so quickly! I also have Aetna and I am going through all the consults and pre testing and then the dr office will submit everything for approval! Always keeping my fingers crossed! Good luck with surgery Monday

    Billing Practices

    Upset with my dr.'s office!! I received a bill from them for over $400.00. Listen to this, so I called them and my insurance. The doctor is a participating doctor but the group is not and thats how they bill Now I am wondering what to do, find a different dr. or fight with them and ins.????
  18. Good Luck today!!

  19. Good Luck!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery

    Defeated & sad :(

    You have made one of the biggest decisions of your life, to get banded!!! Don't let these bumps in the road, make you lose your sight at your goal. I can completely understand how you are feeling. I just found out my surgeon's group is "out-of-network", but him personally is "in-network". What it boils down to is, if insurance co. pull this crap, many people will just give up and the ins. co saves ALOT of money. Keep pushing and Good Luck!!!!!
