big trouble

[xandriacharlee 0]

hi everyone,

ok i am in big trouble..........been going to pcp doctor every month for 6 months now. (have done all the other testing). i gained 10 pound in the last 6 months due to just not watching, no one told me i had to lose weight.

( i changed doctors after my 5th month due to no one getting back to me on difference things). duh should have known!! oh doctors name dr colella (pittsburgh):rolleyes2:...there office was awful.

now going to dr ramanathan (much better with info).:tongue:

new doctors just informed me on weight loss, now i might have to go another 3 months before surgery.

big chance of being turned down. i am so upset.

has anyone else had this problem? any advice would be great!

thanks

I am not sure of your insurance but when I first started my process to get a approved I was with Cigna and they required I had to be under a Dr's care for 6 months. I changed Dr.'s a couple of times and did not have 6 months in a row. Then my company change the insurance in Jan/09 to Aetna and they required 3 months I had my dr that was trying to get me approve for my band just summit all of my paper work for all of my Drs. and they came back and approved me and I was banded on 03/30/09. Good luck and keep your head up it will all work out.:tt1:

im getting banded on the 12the and cant wait! the Protein shakes though omg! i cant keep thoes nasty things down! do you h ave any suggestions on what i can drink Protein wize without losing all my guts!:rolleyes2::tongue:

One thing I saw on this board that really peaked my interest about the Protein Shakes is to buy sugar free instant Jello pudding in your favorite flavor and add a teaspoon of the dry powder to your plain old Protein shake for some great flavor - try it! it couldn't hurt! :tt1:

I also like the Atkins Advantage shakes best, and still (3 mo. out) have at least 1 a day either for Breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack to keep the head hungries away - the dark chocolate royale and strawberry are my favs.
