OK thanks for clearing that up, you have to post pics soon, I finally got all my papers in to the Ins. co. & I plan on bugging them until I get the right answers, good-luck in the future.

congratulations , did you have the bypass you mentioned staples removal.

OK So today I get a call, My insurance co. was missing an important form that wasn't included in my package......WHY ME!!!! I can't get an appointment with the doctor until Aug.24. I guess I should be happy I wasn't just denied. I know this will be so worth it whenever it happen AAAAAhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I know you are serious, but you crack me up every time I read your blog,thanks for the laugh keep up the great work.

Good-luck stay strong it will be worth it, I am also waiting on my ins. but I know it will be worth the wait & the hoops we have to jump through.

Way to go,that should shut her up, I can't wait to see what my mother-in-law has to say, she doesn't know i'm having surgery & I dared my husband to tell her,keep up the GREAT work.

Wow that's great,I'm 5'7 & my goal is 175lbs anything else & I think I will look sickly also,but i'm willing to see LOL.

Congratulations,keep up the good work & stop making me cry. LOL

OK, I saw the Psychologist went great I think, all my papers are in to the insurance co,now what am I goin to do with myself.How long do this usually take,I was told I had to see a Heart & Lung doctor before the surgeon would do the surgery has anyone else had this requirement,

welcome, I'm just starting to, I saw the psychologist yesterday & got more excited about the journey-if thats even possible, so hang tough I know I am.

Well I found out I can get around my CRAPPY PCP so yeaaa!!!! I am seeing a psychologist Tues, so wish me luck, every time a brick wall come up before me & this surgery it gets knocked down,so I beleive this surgery is destiny, now on to my next question, has anyone went into surgery for a lap-band® & got a sleeve instead,after attending the seminar I'm leaning toward the sleeve now. prior surgeries & scar tissue also I take NSAIDS for arthritis.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU & May you have many,many,more. You are so supportive even though you have reached your goal you haven't forgotton about the ones who are struggling or like me haven't got started yet but determined to get banned & before the year is gone.You keep me inspired, even though my PCP say no I say YES, have fun today you deserve it & so much more.

I am just getting started,I am on medicaid, & medicare, I weigh 260lbs. Witha BMI of 40.2. has medicare or medicaid paid for anyone's surgery,please let me know.can't weight any longer. Oh yea medically I qualify for everything. :smile2:

My pcp is a joke he said I wanted the lap band for a physical reason -duh! its also a medical reason ,my insurance wont pay without my pcp referral everything else I have. I weigh 268lbs @ 5ft. 7in. whats physical about that,I guess the high blood pressure,bulging disk,arthritis & knee pain is physical to,WOW I really needed to get that off my chest,feeling better already, can someone help please what else can I do.My PCP referral is all I need.H E L P P L E A S E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
