did you insurance cover it?

Did i see that right you lost a total of 50 lbs in a little over a month? or is the date wrong, I my self went to have the surgery last october to find a hernia and denied :rolleyes had hernia opt and now she still wont do it, well i dont want her to if she is that unsure of herself, so now waiting on another doc who might do it or bariatric, but lap band i would think is better for me because i need to loose about 75lbs :embarassed: im just so tired of the run around .

now i love watching the emergency er shows and operations on the health cannel but to watch my own i dont think i could lol ewwwwwww , are you sure telly you did not feel a thing lol:second: :hail: you way above us lol you go girl

well if i was married to ozzie ozborne i would be sick in head too lol , no wonder the poor woman is loosing it, she should not of had the surgery, said she has staple and then lap band see what money will do for you, just bypass your real health problems and do it all no matter what the out come

Hi all , just wanted to update I finally found doc close by for psyc consult have apt tues, got cardio on fri, and still waiting for cat scan, sometimes I just want to give up , but i read your struggles and how great your doing, and say I can do this , but please someone tell me why it takes so dam long for the insurance to give permission, its like they are waiting for you to say the hell with it with all the pre test and trials , but im not giving in, I just hope after next week they give me a date soon. How long does it take usually to find out after all test results are in can any one answer that?:smow: no ciggs for a week now doing great with that too.

well for some of you its a breathalyzer test to be done for smoking and some its urine our doc does blood YIKES I GOT TO STOP NOW but i have already put them down to 2 a day thats ciggs not packs so now i puting all down . and i must say tummy tucks looks good wonder how much its here in md:cry

geesh , i appreciate your prayers , the herinia is form so many opertions on stomach area it is wearing and has a size of a baseball that pouches out but stomach under right breast is size of football and about 1" bigger thank left side i thought that was just from the scaring where they cut me open 4 times on stomach does not hurt i think its a insisional hernia, but i just got apt for cardiac doc next fri and waiting on phyc to call back and doc for apt for cat scan and then i get blood work done so i will know with in a few weeks i guess, my doc put on paper of referal for bariatric surgery for me (quote ) This is to certify that Ms Smith is under my medical care. She has hyuperlipidemia and worsening type 2 diabeties. she has failed a number of diest and has tried to lose weight unsuccessfully over the past frew years, she has asthma and memorrioids tthat have been exacerbated by her condition as well, while her blood pressure is currentyl controlled, i do not expect her other conditions to improve without some weight loss. i think that she is a good candidate to undergo bariatric surgery. ( end quote) now with him saying that i i have been with him for a few years trying to loose weight will that be sufficent enough for the six months ? i am so depressed, :help:

:faint: Well i saw the doc today, and i find out i have a hernia in stomach area , she is debating on even doing surgery now and is though thinking of doing them both at same time too, she said she needs to think on it. now i got to go get a cat scan of tummy, see a heart doc, and phyciatrist of course, my doc i see him on monday for my letter. and she saying insurance saying 6 month diet from doc , insuracne told me they did not need that i am now at stage of giving up hope , just a big merrygo round :deadhorse:
