I found out my paperwork was submitted to my insurance company on Tuesday. I'm hoping and praying for a quick approval. I would really like to be banded in September. I'll cry if I have to wait until October.:thumbup:

Wish me luck!

Best of luck to you danide! Didn't I read that you tried to get insurance approval but ended up your m&d are helping out? (Trying to keep everyone straight, if I confused you for another I'm sorry!!) QUOTE]

Yeah I will be self pay... I was denied by insurance (Aetna) because my BMI hasn't been for 40 for at least 2 years. But my surgeons office is now waiting for a letter from my primary doctor stating that since he has been working with me, for apx 3 years, I have been severely over-weight... so the surgeons office thinks that Aetna might approve it based on that... Its nice that they are working with me. But unless its magically approved now, I will be self pay and yeah, my parents are helping me with that. They will be lending the money to me and I will make monthly payments to them (probably for the next 4 years or so), but at least its without interest...

So what is everyones reason behind wanting the surgery... what are you looking forward to with losing the weight and keeping it off?

I talked to my nutriotionist this morning and she suggested I buy Complication Insurance for my upsoming procedure. Does anyone on here have any knowledge or experience with this product? It is supposed to cover people for catastrophic outcomes.

Day 3 of this blasted liquid diet. It was rough making supper for my family last night. I told my husband he was going to have to cut up the chicken for everybody (it was a rotissiere chicken) because I had cooked everything and so serving it was just pushing it too far for me. (He's not been the most supportive person).

I sure hope that the two week liquid diet POST OP is easier.

I have my pre op appointment on the 1st, so surgery will be sometime after labor day!

Found out this morning that my white blood cell count is still elevated and it turns out that I have mono. So, I've had to cancel my surgery AGAIN. My primary doctor says its most likely going to be a couple of months before I can have it. I am so bummed and cried this morning when the office called me to tell me.
