Ugh I am scheduled for surgery on the 29th and have been dealing with anthem since the 27th of March. Originally I was scheduled for the vsg all paperwork was submitted for that procedure. Well come to find out my policy is one of few that does not cover that procedure so I had to go another route. Lap band it will cover.BUT Dr's office had to resubmit everything for a new precert and being the Dr's office spoke with my insurance and all was good to go I am having to completely go thru the entire precert process again. Same nurse reviewing case nothing changed but codes and it's taking them forever to write the approval. Any of you had lap band with plication? If so can u give me the heads up on recovery and progress....

Just 3 more days until I'm banded with Plication. Anyone else have this procedure that can fill me in on postoperative pain and how you felt? Also what did you take for your overnight stay, those of you who did stay the night after surgery. I'm finally in my preop liquid diet zone and not feeling so deprived. My new best friend is decaf coffee with flavored sugar free non dairy Creamer..
