Congrats to you. I can't wait to hear those magical words, 4 monthbs t

Thanks for the info

Wonderful Video. My prayers go out to you.

Well we were all set for Surgery this Month until the Insurance Company called and said I needed a mandatory 6 Month Diet and Exercise program. I don't understand how when I called the benefits department in Aug they didn't know about this requirement, but all my paperwork from the Surgeon goes in for approval and Walla this missed requirement is now my denial for Surgery. I attended my first class Nov. 30th and my second class Dec 3rd, have 4 to go. My final meeting with Surgeon is April 5th so hopefully Surgery soon afterwards. The kicker for me is my deductible has been met for this year, now with this extension I must meet a $3000.00 again. Frustrated but not defeated. Good day all.

Thanks, I am trying to stay positive and push through it. Thanks for your support.

I am. I am 53

Congrats that is great

So will you no doubt. Keep us updated. And Congrats again.

I also have met my deductible and was scheduled for Surgery Nov 30th, when Insurance denied Surgery because I needed a 60 day diet and exercise program, however when I called my Ins in Aug I was told it wasn't required, so now I must meet my deductible again. Frustrated but not defeated. ALSA'S office has been great and taking the class through them now. I had my first class Nov 30, the 2nd class was Dec 3rd so it will go quick. My last Appt is 4/5/13. I have gone to a few meetings.

I also go to ALSA but have Dr Boone. They are the best. Yours is soon, good luck to you. Mine will be April or early May after my diet and exercise class, final Dr. Appointment 4/5/13.

Welcome, I too am new and waiting for approval. After my diet and exercise class so hopefully April or May. Good luck to you.

My Employer funds my HSA account $1600.00 and I fund it $1800.00 so I shouldn't have to pay out of pocket I hope, but if I do I will just have to grin and bear it. Ins said I met all other qualifications and I do not have to redo any of my medical or tests, so hopefully approval is painless. Thanks for your support.

I believe April or May, my last Dr. visit is 4/5/13. I I was all ready for Surgery Nov 30th and Ins denied Surgeon's request as I need a 6 month diet and exercise program, when I spoke with Ins. benefits in Aug they said it wasn't required. I also have to meet $3000 deductible again. Frustrated but not defeated.. Soon is so far away it feels but I know it will go quick. I am very Happy for you.

Congrats

Congrats

Good luck with Surgery Vicki, prayers will continue for you.

I would like to be a 7-8. My Surgery is April or May after my 6 month diet and exercise requirement is complete. I am a 20-22 now. I really want to be healthy, I will take what ever my results end at, but I will give it my all to get there. Good luck to you all.

Congrats

Oh Vicki I am so Sorry for your setback. You were the first to friend and post me on here, and by the looks of things you have been a wonderful support for many, so now we can support you. Prayers are coming your way. Please stay strong.

Outstanding. Great job.

Amen to that mrsblues. I agree 100%

I am a newbie here and would love to visit and meet up with site users and new friends who have either had or will have Gastric Bypass Surgery. I was Scheduled for Surgery this month and then the Insurance Company decided I needed to do a 6 month Dr. Supervised Diet and Exercise course, after telling me in Aug it wasn't a requirement. Frustrated because I now must meet a new $3000.00 deductible. Anybody else run into this issue?
