Howdy,

Have insurance with Cigna and completed my 6 month supervised diet. The surgeons office submitted my paperwork and I was declined.

Reason: No psychiatric eval. or nutrionist visit.

So, my girlfriend had her cosmetology test yesterday in Little Rock and I set my appts. up then so we could get it all done at once.

Good news....contrary to what my ex-wifes have said, I am not crazy ;)

She did tell me after talking with me for awhile that she thought I was very committed to getting this done. I agree :devil_smile:

After that I met the nutritionist. And you would never believe where.....

Famous Dave's restaurant. Lol. A friend of mine called while I was meeting her, and he said "Isn't that like attending an AA meeting at a liquor store?" She just laughed.

Anyway, those two things will be submitted and hopefully I will hear back in a week or so.

Just wanted to tell someone, because I am happy!

Michael

Oh yeah, and the nutritionist told me I look remarkably like Bill Engvall the comedian. I asked her if she smoked her Breakfast ;)

Hang in there an it will finally happen. It took me 18 months to finally get everything in place and get my band. I am so happy. I have lost a total of 49.8 pounds and feel great.

You will get there.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
