Surgery June 8th SO EXCITED I can't wait to start my new journey on life-My hisband is such a sweetie he is so supportive. I am out of town on business this week - Hopefully the liquid diet will not be too much of a struggle - but it will be worth it! Talked to my Doctors office today now they want a copy of a stress test I had about 3 years ago~! I hope this will not be another obstacle to my surgery date. TOO MANY ISSUES! I have been seeing my GP for my blood pressure which has finally gone down and see him again Monday before surgery that should help alleive any issues Dr Wright may have. I want to get this done. Went to TRUE RESULTS first time Jan 21st was told all is good insurance will pay and this is what we need to do for the next 3 months to get your band. I kept asking the office manager "are you sure my company will pay-- i was told they had an exclusion for weight loss surgery" oh yes yes it is covered -So proceded with all Nutritionalist, Psych eval, Chest X ray- labs evrythign go for my vist 4/22 expecting to have a surgery date set BUT NOOOOOO Now insurance has changed their 3 months process to a 6 month process so scheduled visit for 5/26. In the meantime TRUE RESULTS sent in my file for pre-determionation of benefits and I c ontacted my insurance company to ask "why do I have to waiut 6 months because I purchased the policy in Dec with a 3 month process blah blah....... and was told WELL MS MOLLENHAUER THIS PROCEDURE IS EXCLUDED ANYWAY!!! Well went back and forth with TRUE RESULTS my HR department and BCBS and YEP NOT COVERED~~~ Well my husband being the generous and understanding sweetie that he is said well if this is what you want we will just pay for it! SO here I am ready to go so all keep your fingers crossed that this stress test thing will not cause any more delays!!

What a nice story! As a new grandma and another grandson on the way I hope my grandbabies feel the same way about me in the future

I am sure you will make a beautiful bride either way but how exciting that you will have lost weight too

What a wonderful story I can't wait till I can say the same

Congrats what is a Body Bugg?

How do you get the ticker on your profile - I went to tickerfactory and created one bit do not know where I put it on my profile

I have not had my surgery yet (June 8th YEAH) However I had a c-section from belly button down and the gas was horrific - best thing is walk walk walk it really helps a ton I hope you feel better soon and congrats on taking the step to lap band
