Hi I haven't been on the board for a couple of days, but my insurance doesn't require a supervised diet, I'm just having a hard time getting my Dr's to send over my medical records which is the last thing I need from them. I have my psch visit next saturday, it was supposed to be this friday but I have to have surgery tomorrow on my Achilles tendon on my right foot, so the Dr rescheduled the appt.

Hi stl2atl07 I can't wait to be a banded women:rolleyes2:, I have changed my way of thinking and eating and I feel mentally ready for this, that really stinks that you have to wait until January 14th :frown:, but the way these days have been flying by it will be here in know time. :wink: teburgess wow you've really been on the right track:thumbup: and it's to bad that you have to start at the beginning again, but it's all going to be worth it in the end. I sometime have a problem with patience but since I'm having surgery on my right foot next week I'm hoping for a surgery date for my the end of dec or beginning of Jan. Good luck to all of us!!! our day is coming....:thumbup:

Good Morning Ladies and Happy Thanksgiving I appreicate your comments and I do realize it's a slow process but I thinks that I'm mostly frustrated with my PCP because she agreed with me that the Lapband would be perfect for me, but yet and still she's not getting the paperwork back to True Results in a timely matter. Yes moviestartaal I do live in Forest Park, is Dr. Hart doing your surgery?

Hello everyone I am getting very discourage with this process, I guess I shouldn't say with the process it's more like I want to really hurt my PCP, getting the necessary information from her is like asking her money or something, not only did I have to pay $35.00 for my ltr of medical necessity and wait 7 days to get the ltr, now the people at True Results are having a hard time getting her to fax over my medical records, not only that my psych appt was for next friday (12/4), now I have to postpone that until 12/11 because I have to have surgery on my achilles on 12/03 and the Psych Dr doesn't think I'll be in a good enough mood to come in on the 4th to complete my eval. I am just ready mentally to really start this new chapter in my life and I keep hitting road block. I guess I am just tired of waiting....:ohmy:

Hi Stl2atl07 I'm sorry it took me so long to respond, I still kind of new to this site and I didn't know i even had messages, bu anyway I moved here in 96 from New Britain, CT and I to have gained about 100lbs since i have gotten here, my husband is not on board with me having this surgery, but like i told him this has to do with me and my health so i wasn't asking permission to do it I was just telling him what i was up to. I haven't gotten my band yet I just went to the nutritionist on friday and go to the psyc visit next friday, so I'm hoping after that they will submit my paper work.

I went to my PCP to get my ltr of med nec even though she encourged me and said that would be a great choice for me, but she charged me $35.00 for the ltr plus a $15.00 copy for the visit that day, then it took her 7 days to get the ltr to me. I had to exactly go to her office and demand my ltr :tongue2: I was so ticked off, I will be changing Dr's she charges for everything I can't afford her even with insurance.

Welcome!! Wow you got your approval without doing your pre test first?? that great , I have to go through all of my pre test first before my Dr. will even send it in because the tests are a requirement. I didn't know they did the band at Southern Regional wow that is so close to me, I'm in Forest Park but I'm having my surgery at Perimeter surgery center with Dr. Hart thru True Results hopefully sometime in Dec.:tongue2: Good luck to us all, I can't wait to start the new year working on the new me:thumbup:.
