Hi All! I just wanted to scream from the top of the mountain that I only have 1 more thing to do before I can get approved for my August 1st surgery!! My Psych is done, the Nutritionist is done, the seminars are done and 5 months of my doctor supervised diet are done. I have my 6th appointment on July 3rd & the doctors office said they then will send the info to the insurance company & I will be good to go!! I can't wait to start my new HEALTHY life!! I would LOVE to hear success stories from anyone to keep me focused...

:tongue:

I have my surgeon's appointment on June 25th. I just finished my 3 month supervised diet. I spoke to the insurance lady at my surgeon's office and she said after I meet with him I can expect to only have one more appointment for my psych exam then I'm good to go (as far as sending my info to Aetna for approval). I'm hoping I have my appointment shortly after meeting with my surgeon...I'm SO ready to get this done, lol.

As luck would have it, I've had several folks at different doc's offices comment on how good my insurance is, it covers A LOT (even fertility treatment), so I'm hoping the process for approval is painless. My husband (who's insurance I'm using) has 4 girls that work for him that have all had Lapband done this year!

Good luck to everyone that's rounding the final corner, we're all so close to our new life!

      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.
