Ive been approved! finally



Recommended Posts

Hi guys, ive been actively with you since march. I just found out that I have been approved for lap band today and boy am I excited!!!! I cant believe it.

I am so thankful to God for giving me this opportunity after I thought everything was taken away (I had lost sixty pounds in college, and then gained seventy back when I got rheumatoid arthritis having a year of loss of mobility). I am in pain everyday with every step I take. I hope that losing some of this weight will improve the pain I feel on my ankles and all the other joints everyday.

My insurance company, medical mutual of Ohio is strict and boy am I blessed by god to have gotten approval on the first try

RA is a very strong, but not listed comorbidity. It is an auto immune disease.

I am happy. if anyone needs any more information about medical mutual let me know

I am with dr fegelman at the jewish weight management center in cincinnati ohio

God will work his grace with you as he has done with me. Congrats on your insurance coverage. Mine was sticky too and it was approved. I've been banded 10 days now and feel good. Good luck with your surgery.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
