way to go! that is wonderful! keep up the good work! :Angel_anim:

wow. that was wonderful advice! that helped me too! lol

YOU GO GIRL! I am patiently waiting to go for my consultation on the 3rd. Im sure i will be as excited as you are when they set a date. I am going with all my labs, ekg, stress and sleep study in hand so there will be no delays. lolol

Hi, wow, you sure you wasnt reading my mind when you wrote that last sentence! lol i have been saying that every since i decided to get the band. i have my first consult on the 3rd. i am walking in with all my labs, sleep study, ekg, dr. letter, stress test etc. lol. when they see all that i have already, they are gonna say, "well, i think this is all we need to submit to the insurance!" lolol i hope thats what they will say. im very excited about it, i am over 100lbs overweight and cant wait to start living a healthier lifestyle. i have 2 children still at home with me, ages 13, 5. so i understand what you mean when you say you want to be around to play and do things with them without getting out of breath!

it seems as though that you are losing inches and that is always a good thing! are you exercising, cause that is always a way to shed extra pounds! it you are built with lots of muscle, that usually happens. keep it up you will make it!

Well, i hope that it takes about a month, thats why i have all my labs and studies in hand so that they can submit to the insurance company for the code that is needed for the go ahead.

Hi, that is so wonderful! I to am so excited, uhc covers the surgery too and i've already gone to the seminar and i have the consultation on the 3rd. I have all my paperwork in hand, labs, echo, sleep study, stress test, medically needed letter. lol I want to make sure that they submit all of this to the insurance company that day so i wont have to wait for them to tell me what i need from my dr. office. i hope to get a surgery date if all is well and start my preop labs real soon.

Yeah is a wonderful idea to speed up the process. They will need all of that info anyway so why not have it ready when i go? Im very nervous about it all, i think that uhc is pretty reasonable and quick at approval ( thats what i heard), I hope to get the surgery if all goes well in July.

:thumbup:Hi this is also my first post. I am in the process of getting the band. I have my first consult on July 3rd, and i am too nervous. I've gotten all of my labs, stress, apnea, echo, medical letter inhand when i go for the consultation! Lol . I didnt want to wait for them to tell me what I needed to submit to the insurance for the code that is needed. I really want to get this on the ball because i am looking forward to getting off all of the bp meds and leading healthier life for my children. I too am 100lbs overweight! :smile2:
