  1. Well I am 13 days away from my surgery, and I got the most devistating call from my doctor that the insurance is now saying I am NOT approved! They have already sent letters to myself and to my doctor that I WAS approved and faxed them an approval number for the surgery, and even told them how much my co-pay was going to be... NOW they say sorry someone screwed up and now I am not approved!!! I am so frustrated I have already started my liquid diet... My doctor did say they were going to figure out if there was anything they could do legally since the insurance had already approved it twice now.... Hope no one else has to go through the same hell I have been going through HEALTHSMART insurance is a joke.
  2. Wow what a rollar coaster ride! Surgery has been moved to July 1st but at least I am getting it!

    Newbie & 1 month post op

    Congrats! Keep rocking that sleeve!
  14. Been over a month and still waiting on insurance, it would be the best birthday present ever if they would call today!

  15. I went to a lap band seminar because I liked the idea it was reversible .... However with my auto immune disease and history of Lupus in my family the doctor told me Sleeve would be a better option... I had never heard of the sleeve so I went home and researched, and I mean researched... For 3 years!!! Now here I am almost there and feel blessed I didn't get lap band because I don't think I would have had that good of success with it...
  16. I am in the same boat I have been waiting since April 26th, I did call and they have received everything and they are looking it over they said last week and it could take up to a month... Looks like they are going to take the full month! I hope that is a good sign... Congrats on your approval!!
