Will & Will-Nots for Pre & Post-Bandsters
AnastasiaBeaverhausen replied to mimi1512's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Never again will I go into my bathroom or closet to change clothes so my fiance can't see me.....even though we have lived together for 3 years. How ridiculous is that..... Never again will someone tell my daughter, "You like just like your mother, but small....." She is 21. Never again will I avoid posting my own picture.....because I will not be anxiety stricken to the point of needing to be tranquilized at the thought of someone taking a picture of me. -
I haven't been banded yet. My surgery is scheduled for Dec 16th....so I am almost there. That's why I joined this site...to see if I could find out more info or find peeps to talk to. Yes....Capricorns.....we tend to be analytical, persistent, stubborn and set in our ways.....border line control freaks....but wouldn't have it any other way.

You need to check your policy for requirements. You maytbe covered for lap band procedure, but they almost always have additional requirements. Example - I am with Cigna and it is covered if it is deemed medically necessary. I had to do a 6 month physician supervised diet, provide 2 years of medical records showing my weight, get psychiatric clearance, meet with a nutritionist and provide a letter of medical necessity from my primary care physician. Cigna did not tell me this when I initially called-they only advised procedure was covered under my plan. I found all of this info out by reading my policy and meeting with the patient advocate at my surgeons office. -
Hello! If you don't mind me asking, when were you banded? You already look fab in the pics you posted.

I didn't wait on someone to notify me. I called my insurance company daily and asked for the status of my paperwork that was submitted for lapband approval. My insurance company required a letter of medical necessity from my PCP before they would approve - something I was not advised of beforehand. I called Cigna daily and was finally advised on 11/22 that I was approved and provided an authorization #. To this date I have received nothing from Dr or surgery center advising they received notice of my approval. If I hadn't done this all myself, I would still be waiting. Call - take charge and ask questions - it's your right. -

Hello Everyone! I have my pre-op appt 12/10 and my surgery is scheduled for 12/16. I look forward to being able to see what others are experiencing and hopefully share some of my experiences as well. Good luck everyone!
