    Humana PPO

    hey I am sorry to hear u are feeling bad but one day maybe u can help me too get through this, I am sure it is horrible and u are miserable that is one of my greatest fears. I just look at it like that in the end it will all be worth it. How long after were u given something to drink?? How long did u stay there at facility?? What are u drinking now to stay hydrated and how long do u just do liquids?? How are ur incisions feeling?? Any relief with the gas?? Do u have help at home now since u got home ?/ from the family etc?? do u work?? if so when do u return?? Do u have any children?? I hope u have a good night and thanks for sharing ur experience with so many of us getting ready to take the same journey u have hose too. Keep in touch, Becky

    OUCH!!!! it does hurt!!

    Thanks for sharing your experience with us it does help up to know how different we all are and how each one of our bodies deal with different things. I do congratulate u all and hope u all start to feel better soon.. I believe I might be having my banding done around October depending on the insurance timing. I am only planing to be out a few days I pray I am able to deal with this and able to return to work soon , lucky fo rme I work for a doctor and he knows I am thinking about doing this procedure so maybe I will be able to come to work and get what I need to do done and go home I am the office manager so I should be fine. again good luck to all of u newly banders and now the process begins remember we are sometimes stronger than we give our selves credit for.

    Humana PPO

    I have Humana PPO but it depends on what company has it mine is Humana Dell PPO, my husband works for Dell so I am covered through him. What company is ur insurance though?? Mine does cover 1 bariatric surgery per life time this much I do know... I first went to a True Results seminar and found out later that the were out of network with my insurance so I went and transfered all my records to Southwest Bariatrics here in Austin, Texas so far I was approved only I had to do the 6 month weight loss program and all the other stuff that goes along with it then once all that gets submitted I will see what they will say?? I pray they will approve it in the end. take care and good luck keep in touch!!
  9. hey wonder if we could be friends and keep in touch?? thanks for ur advise. take care

  13. I am in my waiting period per my insurance which is 6 months before having my procedure I am in my 5 month alrady.Since I have been having to wait I have had lots of questions in which I dont know anyone who has had the procedure to ask so maybe someone can help me?? What do I have to look forward to the day of the surgery? the first week? How soon were u able to go back to work?? I have a sit down job so I am planning on returning to work with really no time off but for maybe 3 days? Will I be able to do this?? Vomiting is my worse fear can this be avoided?? I would love some feed back if possible thanks austex
