Newbie Waiting for Ins. Approval



Recommended Posts

HI there. I'm a newbie. I submitted my paperwork to the insurance a couple weeks ago and just waiting for approval. I'm in Mesa AZ and will be going to Dr. Terry Simpson for my band. :biggrin1:

I'm currently doing SB and I can't wait to get the band to help me lose my weight. I'm looking forward to doing all those fun things I used to do...skiing, scuba, hiking, archery tournaments, etc.

Well, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.

Thanks Coyotegirl! Yes, he seems to have a large fan base! I'm really happy about his support after the surgery! Looks like you have had GREAT success with the band!! I remember seeing your post from the other day - when you posted the pic of you on the scale and your piggies were showing! Very nice!!

Welcome Kathleen. I too am waiting for approval. However, I am now on my first appeal and waiting for the decision to be reversed. Hopefully, I will know soon.

You couldn't have come to a better place. LBT has been the best thing for me. I have learned so much here. The support from all of the wonderful people on LBT has been unbelievable. You will learn a great deal.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks Emily!

I agree about this site! I have learned so much that I feel when my time comes to get banded I'll be ahead of the game mentally!

Take care.

      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?
