**Brand New!** To be banded 08/10/16!

[sophiesmom12 3]

Hello All! My name is Sarah, and I am so excited and nervous to be banded! I have done months of studying, discussing with doctors, etc, and finally had everything submitted to insurance.

I was told 2 days ago everything was approved. I called my insurance to verify- and they are saying it is still in progress. The surgeons office just called me stating that they need me to call them to verify my 5% loss required by my insurance, because apparently it is appearing as though it was forged by my surgeons office! (It was NOT, and my PCP even signed off on it) I think its because I had previously submitted the same form and had it filled out incorrectly.

Anyway, i'm going to Target tonight with a girlfriend to start getting things to prepare. Small cups, plate, etc. This insurance thing is really bothering me because I don't want them to deny it now! But, my surgeons office is saying that is the only thing they are waiting for- then i will officially have the approval note.

AHHH, this is a lot of stress. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't looking forward to it!

PS- please introduce yourself, I'm looking for band buddies. Also, where can I get a ticker?!

Love & Peace,

Sarah
