Band Removal

[Lynzee43 28]

As if having surgery isn't stressful enough, my insurance has only agreed to remove the band at this point in time.

To have the sleeve considered they are being giant pains in the f-n asses and requiring me to do ALL the paperwork as if I was a new WLS patient. Seriously...could they stress a chick out some more?!?!

Anyways, I'm having the band out this coming Monday...is this done as an out patient procedure?

I know, Dr should of told me but with all the craziness insurance has caused(not just what I mentioned above), I really don't care to call his secretary again.

Sounds like you may need a new doctor......

I have no issues with my Dr, it's just that a bit of mass confusion started due to the insurance jerks and surgery was moved up and only having band out...not band out and sleeve done, which requires staying overnight.
