Hey Ms. Lady,
I finally got my surgery date. I am to be banded on April 8th. I will keep everyone posted on my progress. I pray all is well with you.

Hi Carol 4784, Actually, I only have to do a two-day preop. So I won't start fasting until Sunday, April 6th. What does your pre-op diet consist of?
-
Hey I wasn't able to get April 2nd, but I will be praying for you today and tomorrow. However, I was able to get April 8th. Keep me in your prayers too.

Thanks Lonestar...Next Tuesday is my big day. I'm excited.

JDUB0414, If that's the only thing they are using as a method of denial, I would appeal again. My surgery date is April 8th. Initially they denied me. I did the 3-month multi-discretional diet with my PCP and a dietician and resubmitted the paperwork and was approved.

Hello everyone, I am being banded on April 8th by Dr. Steinberg in Georgia. I will be the first of his patients to get the "Realize Band." Does anyone have any information they'd like to share about the realize band?
-
Miss Melis, I will definitely keep everyone informed. This is the beginning of my journal.

Congrats Lonestar. Guess what??? I got APPROVED. Whoo Hoo!!!!!! I don't have a surgery date yet, but I am trying to talk to the doctor's office today to see what I have to do next and then I will schedule my surgery date. I am so HAPPY

Thanks for the encouraging notes...it really does make things better having a support group. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. Sincerely, NeNe:smile:

I'm still waiting too. I found out yesterday that Aetna had no record of my appeal that was supposedly sent in February and now they just resent it Friday, March 6. I am a little disappointed with my doctors office because this is a two-week set back for me. I know I am not the first Aetna appeal they've done so they should know the fax number to the Appeals Department. I had to provide them with a phone number. Go figure...
-
Whoo HOO!!!!! Go Lonestar....it must have been that little prayer I said for you. I am so happy. Please keep me posted on your progress. CONGRATS! Sincerely, Ms. NeNe

Lonestar, Thanks for such encouraging words. I just found out my stuff was faxed to the wrong number at Aetna, which means they will never find the first fax. So now I have to wait until tomorrow to see if they found it or if it needs to be re-faxed again.

dogluvr, Don't beat yourself up. You will be approved before you know it. Get up off the couch and do what you have to do to get prepared for your new life. You will be approved!!!! Praying for you, Ms. NeNe
-
Thanks for your response. Ms. NeNe
-
How does the doctor know what size band to put inside you? How does he decide?
-
What company do you work for????
-
Congrats...I can't want to be where you are.
-
I pray you get approved. You definitely sound like you are a good candidate. Good Luck, Ms. NeNe
-
Lonestar, If it is a covered procedure with your insurance...I think it's unfair that they get to have a say so regarding if you get the surgery or not. Did they say who at the company gets to decide if you get the surgery or not?
-
dogluvr, I have not heard anything yet. I don't even know what number to call. The last time, I received a letter in the mail. A day later, my doctor's office called me do discuss. I will just patiently and positively wait. Good luck to everyone!
-
I thought they had 30 days to reply.

Thanks miss meliss, I need your thoughts and prayers. I haven't heard anything yet, but I am prayerful that I will hear something this week. Sincerely, NeNe
