I was happy..then sad! Need some feedback pls!
terrasmom replied to bobbiezhere's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes you definately must tell your doctor about the sleep apnea!! Dangerous to go into surgery without giving him that information!!! Also my insurance company had to have three things "presenting" as a result of my weight, and yours may be the same. I also got the doctors treating my conditions to write the insurance companies letters for me. Hang tough, it WILL happen! -
I am so ready to do this lapband, but the insurance part has me worried -- they said YES, now I have to get "precertified" - Fiser is the company. After which I can have it? Do you know, since I will owe 20% of the costs, if I have to pay that ahead of time? I'm doing Dr. Spiegel in Houston. Thanks so much!

No, it only means what you think it means. Anyone can have a slip. I have never heard of an entire 4 weeks food free -- so hard! The worst I have heard of is one week food free and my doctor says two days before surgery is all you need. Do not feel like a failure, just get back on track. And perhaps call another doctor with a more lenient program!

I think you are probably freaking out because surgery is so close but hey, there is no harm in postpoining if you are truly upset. Just put it off six months and if you are not at your goal by then, or well on your way to it, then do it. I think this: all of my best methods, diets, and thinking got me right here. I'm going to do it. When you are ready, and not one second sooner, I'll see you there!
