Anyone Out There?!?

Thanks for the reply! I can see what you mean about the Insurance co trying to discourage you. Kinda like claims getting tied up in court. If they can wear you out, they win! I sure hope that I don't have to wait another 6 months. My health is going down quickly. I don't know what shape I'll be in 6 months from now.

I have Anthem and am in the process of the 6 month diet, appointment #5 is tomorrow then one more month to go. It does go by quicker than you think. Keep your chin up and your eye on the goal, before you know it you will be the leader of the band (forgive, I could not resist!!)

Hi Kentuckians,

I live in Paducah, Kentucky. I didn't have too much luck with Anthem BC/BS, too many hoops. I'm self pay July 10th, Monterrey Mexico. I went to the seminar at Baptist Hospital in Nashville but they just hadn't done enough of them for me and Vandy had done even less.

Good luck,

Sherri

Wow, your date is just around the corner. Luck to you. I live in Hopkinsville and am in Paducah alot. I'm holding out for insurance to reimburse some of the money I have put into it these last 20 some odd years. But if they let me down I may have questions about Mexico.

I am from Bowling Green, Ky. And was wondering if anyone on here has heard of Dr. Argotee in Paducah? He is at Lourds Pavillion?

I am familiar with Lourds but not with Dr Argotee. Do a search on him and see if there is a review from patients who have been treated by him. Good Luck

Iziksmom, Hi! I am also seeing Dr. Olsofka. I have heard only GOOD things about him. Isn't it funny how different insurances have you do different things before the surgery. I am in the beginning part of the process, you sound like you are doing great! Keep up the good work, I hope to find out when I will be banded. Sherry Matt

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
