same story as the previous posts. i thought it was kind of a waste of time/money. no big deal!

I hope I will say the same thing! Congrats!

you have to jump thru a lot of hoops! very time consuming and costly! good luck!

Honesty is always the best policy! I am not ashamed of having surgery. Some people have told me not to do it while most are very happy for me. I didn't want to get caught up in a web of lies.

thanks for the tip!

congrats!

Happy, healthy birthday!

I got approval in 3 days from Preferred One. My surgery is 12-31-12. Happy new year to me. Hopefully, your insurance won't take too much longer. Hang in there!

'bout time! good luck!

My first appointment I had to take a 600 question personality test. What a joke! Then after the results were sent back to the psychologist and were discussed at the second appointment. I thought it was a joke, honestly. I feel they just make you jump through hoops. Good luck!

when did you quit smoking? it's been 6 months for me and i had crap for a long time.

Sorry to hear your woes. Where are you? I would complain to her supervisor. You are not being treated well and it is unacceptable! Good luck!

I got approval today, also! 12-31 for me. best wishes to all!

I received approval today. I also met with my surgeon again. I'm set for 12-31-12. Happy New Year to me!

Wow! Your'e doing great!

fashionista!

I would tell them. You can't believe they won't notice your rapid weight loss. If you see them regularly then tell. It's only a matter of time. Don't be ashamed, be proud that your taking YOUR life into your hands.,

I was interested in the band at first also but after the seminar I changed my mind.. I didn't want the long term maintenance. I am nervous about surgery 12-31-2012 but I choose the sleeve. Hopefully all goes well!

most headaches are caused by dehydration. are you getting enough liquids?

Check their website. I'm sure some place in there it has covered services and criteria.

I see him again 12/11. The dietitian told me he requires a 2 day liquid only diet. I had to lose 5 pounds also. Hopefully I made the mark since I do not have a scale at home. As of last week, I lost only 2. I'm doing the old stand by-no carb approach.

Poor girl! Hopefully, it looks worse than it feels!

My surgery is set for 12-31-2012. That should be an easy date for me to remember. I have not received approval, but the surgery coordinator sees no problem and decided to proceed. I have done all required appointments for insurance . My journey has been fast and easy. I went to the seminar late October and 2 months later, I'm scheduled for surgery. Sometimes I wonder if it went too fast.Some people seem to have a terrible time. Hopefully, I'll get the word and start 2013 much healthier!
