I heard last Tuesday from my doctor that my surgery was approved by insurance. But they submitted the wrong code.. Hey submitted the one for the Lap-Band.. So they had to call in the new code to insurance to assure approval. As of Friday evening they still haven't done this.. And they won't set up anymore of my appointments until this is done. So once again I am at a stand still.. I am a planner and would love to know when my life is gonna change.. Ugh.. Just bummed I guess.. :(

I am sorry. I guess the coordinators can make mistakes too! Hopefully if they approved you for a band, they'll approve you for a sleeve. Hang in there ...

It will get approved, the sleeve is far more successful than the lap band IMO....It is hard not knowing when and to make plans. But it will happen...... :)

Hang in there I had the same thing happen and I just stayed on top of the staff to their annoyance I'm sure. They made me talk to the psych. Again but for me I was back and forth on the band and sleeve and something got lost in translation when they submitted the code. I'm so glad I have the sleeve! It will happen soon!
