my new self

I am really nervous. I have had a cough for a week and can't shake it. Do you think they will cancel me?

Wish you the best!

Gabby we will defiantly need to keep each other updated! Congrats!

I started my pre op on August 20th all test were submitted two weeks later. Approval was about a week after that.I have anthem bcbs.

All of my pre-ops are finished and now the waiting begins. The insurance has one month to approve my surgery. Fingers crossed this feels like the hardest part so far.

Hi I also have bcbs. I finished all my pre ops today and am in the waiting game. I will let you know if I hear anything.

Thank you! Very excited!

Hi My name is Amanda. I have just recently started my journey but it seems to be progressing much faster than what I have been reading. I called the surgeon two weeks ago and my appointment is on tuesday. They said from my first call I should be finished in 6 weeks. I was originally planning on lap band but after seeing my primary on thursday he suggested I go straight for gastric. Did anyone else get the same advice? He was pretty persuading that the lap band woul not give me the results I have been looking for. Now I am concerned because my insurance already approved lap band so I am not sure if switching procedures will slow down the process.
