Help with insurance! And the required physican guided before hand
Fluffy420 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The insurance people called me today and told me that my insurance required I do a physican guided weightloss or have done a physican guided weight loss. Well I have been to everyone under the sun. LA weight loss, Weight watchers, Beverly hills weight loss. LA weight loss became pure weight loss then shut down that was my most recent attempt and I can't get my records from that anymore. Was there anyone who had a way around that or got a physican to sign off or used another doc. Anything that would help me get them proof that I have tried all of those things?????? Any ideas welcome! -
Did you have your insurance already approved before the consult?
-
Like it!!!!! Thanks for your help!!!!

CONGRATS AGAIN!

Hey! I just looked at you pics! U did sssooo freakin awesome! We have a very similar body type! I thought the towel was funny....so true (like the little hotel towels haha) I get my band on the 28th and I get worried seeing all the failure stories so makes me happy to see you did so well. What do you think helped you succeed? And what would u suggest I don't do!?!?! (HELP)

You look amazing! I am getting ready to have my surgery this month and I was wondering what your BEST advice was to have as much sucess as you had!?!?
-
Hey! I saw you profile.... I have a surgery date set and Im still researching and talking to people to figure things out. I saw that you didn't think it was worth it yet, and as bad and I don't wanna hear the bad I need to for research purposes. What went wrong with you and what would u suggest to do different?
-
I like the title to your ablum! Its funny! Its so nice to be around people who understand how you feel and be open about it!!! Do you have a surgery date planned yet?

Hi! Im actually from Lexington,NC! I live in MO now and doing all of my pre and post out here then coming to NC to get the surgery done so my mom and take care of me!!!!:drool: I am going to raliegh and it was a quick process. They had my insurance back in just a few days. I chose to use a nutritionist and psy. person out of their people bc that is what takes so long and in the whole process it will be a month after I called the office because I have to wait till Im home for break. So maybe if you are not to far in the process you could go to raliegh since it is so close to greensboro. Good luck!

I noticed you were playing beer pong! I am getting banded this month and I like to drink beer and party from time to time. How does that work out for you now after the surgery? -
Hey! I was looking at your pictures your comments are so funny! I do the same thing when I look at pics of me!! I HATE ppl taking pics of me. Its cool to have a place to put those pics and make fun of yourself now though! And hopefully get rid of them and replace them with good pics!

Hi everyone! a chiropractor would also be a great idea for the back pain...... gas is def. one of the problems! but keeping your spine and nervous system working at optimal level keeps that back pain gone. AND keep your body workin to keep that weight falling off! And you can discuss with your chiro that you had surgery so that he can make arrangements to do different things. SOmeone said they couldnt go to the chiro after surgery bc of the twisting. They have ways to get around the twisting and popping to help with the pain. Let me know if anyone would like some exersise tips! And get a chiropractor!!!!!

Hi! I have not been banded yet but will be at the end of this month! As far as the back pain goes Ive read that gas for sure can be a problem. BUT also your body is changing at a rapid pace. Your body has been carrying that weight around and it is very hard on your spine now you are causing rapid changes. I sugest getting a chiropractor! ( not only because I am one!) They revolve around health wellness and keeping your body and optimum health level. Keeping your body and spine functioning and your nervous system fuctioning to heal from the surgery and keep your weightloss happening as quick as possible! if you have any other questions about it just let me know. Or if you want to discuss certain symtoms you have going on i would be glad to help anyway I can !!!!!

I have kind of a weird situation! I live in MO to go to school and my family lives in NC. So I decided to do all my pre op stuff in MO and post opp stuff in MO.. So I have not met my surgeron and will not meet him until the day of surgery. Which is really nevrve racking but I have confidence in the place! My process has been really fast. I researched for a long time but once I contacted a place it went fast. I contacted the place a week ago they got my insurance info back this wed. and I went to my psyhcatrist today, monday is my nutristionist, and tuseday is my lab work up. Then all that gets sent back and april 28th I go. So it was a really fast process!! Hopefully it continues to go quickly!
-
Yeah I am excited. but i mean do you feel like its the food and excersise or do your really feel like you couldnt have done it with out the band? And how was it for that few weeks after with only liquids-Im really nervous about that. Im kinda in that place like OMG what if I don't lose the weight. or should I not spend the money bc i just need to eat better and excersie......
-
I am getting mine the 28th!!! But they haven't given me any pre op guildlines. What are yours? And where are you getting it done at? :sad:

In new! I just got my surgery date for april 28th! Any advice!?!? And I can't figure out how to post a pic??
