Well, I called my insurance company today...and they said that they needed more information. :cry :noidea:

I don't understand..:couch2: .most of what they said they needed I sumbitted (6 months w/ notes that mention not smoking, my MBI etc..)

I was really looking forward to having some good news today...not more run around. They said now I need a physical, so I scheduled one (couldn't get in until 23rd) .

I want this sooo bad and I just really not happy right now. I know....they didn't deny me, but what the Heck!!!!:yell:

Just need some hugs and stuff

*lots and lots of hugs*

I can't image how frustrated you must be. They get their kicks making us jump thru hoops. So you just keep trudging forward and before you know it you'll be banded and on here giving advice to people just like you who are going thru similar frustrations.

Stocky,

I am so sorry that you need more info. Wish I had some good answers for you. Some of this sounds like your Lap Band Dr or office did not put the package together correctly. But t's a good thing that you called the Ins Co. You may have not heard from them for a coulple of weeks so you could be ahead of the game. Is there another Dr that could give you a physical faster? I called my PCP's office and told them I wanted the first available with whoever was free. They have your records and anyone could do it. Also has you lap band Dr given you a surgery date yet? :spider:

Don't worry it took about 3 weeks before they actually approved me. When I called they had the nerve to tell me they didn't have my paper work and that was 2 weeks after it was submitted.

Here you go have some propel:cocktail:, don't stress and we will all pray on it.:pray:

Stocky,

It just seems like a long time. But in no time things will all be taken care of. Remember patience, during this time you will learn to have it as your friend.

I too did the six months diet and exercise thing. In addition I had to have a blood drug test, an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound), and a physical. You might want to call them and make sure that's ALL they are going to want. Oh the hoops we have to jump through. You'd think being 125 lbs overweight for 8 years would be good enough!

Thank you all so much. I feel so loved.I went to my 1st 4 hour nutrition class for Dr. Moazzez. Everybody else there had a date but me :drama: . But I feel much better now. I again called my insurance company, (these people better hurry up and approve, cuz I will call them to death), to make sure they sent the letter to my Dr's office that lists all I need. I feel sorry for Pam too, cuz I'm gonna haunt her to death until this is done. ;)

Love you all again...thanks..I know I can be kinda emotional

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
