Hey everyone... On November 16th it's my last dietitian visit. Last week I went to the heart doctor.. he said everything looks great. Today I went to the lung doctor he told me my lungs are perfect but he wants me to do this machine over night (at home) to monitor how I sleep. GREAT I gained about over 20 pounds since I started this journey and feel really down about it. I should be getting surgery Dec/Jan. & I'm VERY excited! Talk to meeee I want to hear your stories.

Hello everyone! I'm back on here!!!!! I ran into a lot of trouble =/ .... As you know I started my whole program in Jan. 2012 then my third Dietitian appointment was in May ... A day before my 4th appointment the dietitian calls telling me my insurance is not going to pay her anymore!!! =O I was SOOO upset! So I called and went crazy on them letting them know they TOLD me It would ALL be covered!!!! I ended up getting a case worker and she set me up with a dietitian they pay for FINALLY!!!! I had my 4th dietitian appointment today!!! I'm SO excited for surgery & should be having it .... maybe November? December? QUESTION!!! : After you send your paperwork into the insurance company... how long will it take them to approve it???? I'd like to hear other peoples storiesss. Talk to meeee =] I need more supporters!!

Thank you guys for your stories!! Good luck with your weight losses/Surgeries!! I appreciate you guys writing back to me!! On the lapband site noone did =( lol but i have made my decision I am going to get the Sleeve and my first appointment is on Feb. 10th I will keep you all updated!! Thank you so much for your support!!

Hey everyone (: My name is Tiffany and I am new to this site. I recently signed up for lapbandtalk.com. Today I went to my seminar and they mentioned the lapband, bypass, and the sleeve. I had my mind set that I wanted the lapband but now that I found out about the sleeve I'm interested. I wanted to write this post to hear about your journeys. Please let me know your journey whether you've got the sleeve or didn't. I would also love to hear more information about the sleeve, so tell me anything you know lol I look forward to reading them. Thank You (:

Thank you all for responding to my blog. I really want to get this lapband done, I have been in the program at Children's Medical Hospital for about 2-3 years.. & they still haven't even told me when I could get it done. I was thinking maybe because it's a children's place? I started going there when I was 17. Now that I'm 19 I just decided to go somewhere else. I'm excited and Don't mind waiting 3-6 months. I just don't want to wait years like I did at the Children's place. I thank you all for responding once again and wish you all the best of luck with this journey (: Today I am going to my seminar & will post another blog to keep everyone updated on how that went * (:

Anyone with Aetna Insurance? ; I want to get the lap band done ASAP. I was just wondering, How long does it take for you to get it done? For example: If I have my first appointment on Jan. 9th will I be able to get it done 3 months after or 6? I understand I have to meet the requirements (which I know I already do). Answers please? =(

Hello Everyone, how are you? My name is Tiffany & I am new to this site, I literally just made it lol. I wanted to make it to get support from others besides my friends and family(: When I was 17, i started going to an Endocrinologist as a type 2 diabetes patient. They had talked to me about getting the lap-band surgery because my BMI is higher then 40. I started doing some research and really getting interested in the surgery. I have Aetna Insurance so they told me it will take 6 months along with all the other requirements to get this surgery done. So I started going through the process and stuff. But I felt that the doctor wasn't so good and I am now 19 and still no surgery??? So on January 9th I have an appointment with a doctor closer to me.. I really can not wait to get the surgery!!!! I've been eating healthy and exercising , but I just want the surgery quick so I won't be stuck with diabetes forever!! I heard that with Aetna you can get the surgery after 3 months and after they approve it... does anyone know it this is true? I'd like to hear from a lot of you to hear about your journey (:

Awww really? Congratssss =] keep me updated please! Thanks I can't wait to get it!!! But girl, how did you get it in only 2 months? That was fasttt! lol

Wow 82 pounds? Good for you!! Congrats!! Thank you, I will deff keep in touch!! (:
