Tammy22 0 Posted February 19, 2005 Sorry I have not posted on here in a while. Iv just kept getting bad news after bad news and all yalls good news about getting dates to get banded was just making me sick. Yeah theres the jealousy comming out but everyone has it at some point in there life. I just hare Dr. Smiths office. I had my appt with them and the straight up lied and did not send my paper work to my insurance to even see if they would approve it they just assumed since the damn news is going around that tricare wont pay for the surgery. Its all BS if you ask me and I am sick of the run around. BLAH! Tomorrow is my birthday but aint to happy about it. My daughter is sick beyond sick poor baby. What else can go wrong? Charlie told me to try lapband solutions but I havnt had the time to print out the paper work to fill out yet and honestly, I am scared to even try that way too because I have the fear it will be the same news. Anywayz, sorry to bore you all. Just wanted to drop by and see how things were going. HOpe all is well with everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tammy22 0 Posted February 19, 2005 Correction! Charlie wanted me to try Bandlandia.com. Lap band solutions are the ones who just assumed tricare wouldnt pay for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagerteresa 3 Posted February 19, 2005 Hi Tammy, I know its hard to wait and wait to get banded. I knew my insurance would not cover it and felt totally hopeless getting the money to go to Mexico but sometimes miracles happen and things work out. My father in law ended up loaning me the money to go to Mexico. Sorry your baby is sick. The poor little thing. There was about 6 months that I followed along in forums before I could get my band (or even knew I was going to get one). It is tough but don't give up hope totally. I would talk to your insurance and ask who they reccommend you go to for the surgery and make sure they cover it. Best wishes, Teresa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
