I Am Approved. Wow What A Great Friday

[Vicki Loichinger 444]

Just got the call from Weight Loss Center. Insurance has approved my revision from band to RNY.

Don't have a date yet. That call may come on Monday. But just knowing it is approved and it will

happen is enough for today.

I am feeling every emotion there is. Mostly good.

I am ready for this.

Thanks to all those who have been pulling for me. Your support is more than you will ever know.

Hugs

Yeah once it's done it's like.....did this really happen? I'm really happy for you because I know exactly that moment when you are approved and the pieces slide into place just how awesome that feels and it keeps getting better. I have had some ups and downs since surgery but I feel like I have accomplished so much, you should be proud of yourself....we all should be

thank you everyone, sorta pinching myself today to make sure that it wasn't a dream about the call yesterday. I am pretty calm really. It's like ok, approval down, what is next, let's get this show on the road. But at least now I know the show is going on and that helps a bunch. lol

Congrats on your approval. It took me quite a while to get mine but it just came in today. I actually went thru 2 appeals and we ended up submitting a new case. I was banded in 2010 and lost probably about 35lbs from my surgery date only. I started vomiting constantly and the doctor couldn't figure would why because he said I had the perfect fill. He would take stuff out and it still happened. I finally took more and more out....not I am totally delated which of course brought the weight back fast.

I originally wanted the sleeve but now I am thinking to go to the RNY. I was told people that have the lapband which is restrictive don't lose as well with the sleeve. I was also told there is more of a chance of leaks with the sleeve in the revision because of the scar tissue and then there is the acid reflux issue.

I have a couple friends that originally had the RNY and love it. I would love to know more about how the recovery went..

Again congrats on your approval!!!! Made my day too!
