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:

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.

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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
