I haven't been on in weeks. My insurance denied coverage and then denied the appeal. I am waiting for one more chance. It was denied based on me not going to a dr in 2008 and having my weight documented from that year. Even though I have been overweight my entire life and have had a BMI of over 40 for at least 15 years, it wasn't enough because I didn't have that one peice of documentation. I am bummed but am keeping my fingers crossed for my final appeal.

Confused about my band
findingherself replied to scarlottaitalia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my doctor let me have my fill in 2 weeks maybe your mom is right, but why are you eating pizza anyways? you know better than that. you need to learn to retrict yourself, yes its hard, if u read my posts and blogs you will know i cheated my ass off, but eventually we have to make the right choices. next time eat some meat instead, get as much protien as you can!!!! -
are you serious?

Good luck with everything i was banded on wed. I'm moving around and doing great -
Today I realized that I dd all this because I thught it was worth it. So why the hell am I ALWAYS concerned with cheating... PRE OP.. I CHEATED..POST I KINDA CHEATED AT THE END OF THE DAY I'M HURTING NO ONE BUT MYSELF. Yes, Protein shakes are annoying and the Jello.. i will not be unhappy if i never see jello again. crystal light, and broth? ewww.. i guess we have to remember our reasons for doing it. when i'm thinking about cheating or crying.. because yes i have times where i juststart crying.. like this was stupid for doing this.. i think of those jeans or that halter top that i wanted to wear. Or going on hikes and surfing that i only dreamed of. two piece swim suits...not being JUST the girl with the pretty face...I know its hard,ugh this is THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE .. but i know its worth it. SO FROM THIS DAY ON NO MORE CHEATING!!!!!! ...SWIM SUITS, REAL SKINNY JEANS ...AND FITTED DRESSES HERE I COME....LOL I HOPE EVERYONE IS BLESSED TODAY

:cursing:I was banded on sept 29th and I wanted to leave as soon as i got there.I had been talking about it and once i got there i wondered 'what the hell was i thinking" My husband, family and friends have been awesome.I think that the band has banded the people in my life also. its made everyone that more closer.I want t eat BAD FOODS bu i keep tellingmyself " girl your not having gas pains for nothing" ( they hurt sooo bad) i'm excited to know what this holds for me. i'm praying that things will get better and better. i hope everyone realize that we are trying to make a change and even though your old habts are easier togo back to, you wanted this for a reason.nothig worth having is easy

My insurance is Aetna. I keep reading that people say walking will reduce the gas pains but I can't imagine feeling like walking after the surgery. I'm glad that you are feeling good though. That is good news.

Going good. I have my final appointment on October 7th and my paperwork should be submitted for approval. My surgeon's office seems optimistic but I can't help to worry about the approval. How are things going with you?
