Surgery canceled

Due to billing issues between hospital and insurance. I'm bummed. :whatchutalkingabout

Went in today for the final weigh in to see if I lost enough on the pre-op diet, lost 25 pounds. They informed me of a problem the hospital was having with my insurance about billing for the Lap-band. According to them the problem was on the hospitals end, they did everything they could to get it straightened out but couldn't. They were informed that it would be fixed within the next 30 days.

That sucks because I'm going to have to go through the pre-op diet again.

Don't give up. It took me almost a year to finally get the insurance to approve the surgery. I was so surprise when I got the call it had been approved. I rushed the surgery just in case they decided to change their minds. The weight was worth it. I was banded on Oct. 3, 2008 and I have lost 49.5 lbs. Don't give up. It will happen. Just try and not gain anymore until you have been approved. I'll be praying for you and that the insurance company approves you soon.
