dyingbreed 1 Posted April 13, 2008 Hi all, I'm back on the road to getting banded again. Here's the story.. I was going to get banded a year ago, and I was going to be self paid. But right before the surgery I started having financial issues, and needed to call it off. Well I'm back and ready to go at it again!! Also in that time I switched companies, so I want to try and get them to approval the procedure first. So cross your fingers!!! :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forneygal 0 Posted April 13, 2008 i had BCBS 2 years ago and they did not approve me. i recently started a new job and will be there a year this month. i now have UHC, so i went back to my doctor to see if they could get me approved and i was so happy to hear from them (they told me 3 wks) ago and i'm now scheduled to have surgery of 4/24.....dont give up.

dyingbreed 1 Posted April 14, 2008 Thank you all. I should hear from my doctors office tomorrow to see what they think, and I'll take it from there. This weight is really starting to bother me, even my little daughter looks at me as fat... she's 6... so thats it, its time to make the change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
