Thanks Alex, It was denied for insuficiant medical notes. and because they feel the surgery is ivestigational. So now I am trying to get the medical noted that they want then I can work on the investigational part. How long did it take you to get approved. Thanks for the reply Amy

wow! Thats a bit scary. I never even thought of the wrong band being put in. Geesh the things we have to worry about. Amy

Well I guess I will not be banded on the 27th. My insurance company denied me. I am getting a lawyer and will appeal. Anyone ever get a denial overturned? Amy

Doesn't that just make you feel like you are walking on a cloud. I hope that feeling never ends for you.. Amy

Thanks everyone!. Ok you don't have to cross all of your body parts I really do appreciate it though...lol It sounds more painful than a game of twister.lol The clothing exchange sounds like a great idea. I will keep you posted on the insurance. Amy

Thanks you all so much. I have learned so many things from all of you. And just knowing that you all have been there and done that really makes me feel a bit more at ease. I am going away on the 15th of Oct. The day after I get back will be the day I start my liquid diet. I just really hope that I am approved. I don't want to have to go through the appeals process. I was laughing about the clothing thing. I haven't been shopping in 2 years and I wear the same few outfits that I have over and over. I can't wait to get rid of them..lol Thanks again. Amy

I just got a date for October 27th. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. I just hope that my insurance co. will approve me. Keep your fingers crossed for. Amy

Lainie, Congrats on the first step. I am just finishing all of my pre sugery testing. I have one more appt. with the psychologist on thur. and then I am DONE.. It goes by quick but be prepared to be busy..lol Good luck. and Good health to you. Amy

Hi Lainie, Welcome to this wonderful place. I have learned a lot here. I am not banded yet. I just finished all my testing and will hopefully get a surgery date this week. Good luck Amy

Your family is just Beautiful!. I have to say your son looks a bit like that handsome cowboy guy from survivor. I can't remember his name though. lol Amy

WOW! You look gorgeous. Keep up the great work. Amy

I can't believe I am alsmost done with all the pre testing. In about two weeks I will be able to call my surgeon and get a date for surgery... I wonder how long it will be untill I have my surgery. the quicker the better. I just had my upper GI. Man did that stink!. I hope my stress test on Monday and Tuesday will be easier..lol Anyone have to have a nuclear stress test. I am a bit Nervous.. Amy

I know it just sends me right back to when I was a kid and my dad sitting in his chair smoking his pipe. It is so hard for me to remember him at all, but when I smell that scent it is so easy to picture in my mind... Amy
