Still waiting ....really frustrated!!!

I'm still waiting for the insurance to see if they'll approve the lap band surgery. According to the weightloss center in Beverly Hills, Ca they said that i have a good insurance and that it should cover everything...finished my endoscopy procedure on July 20th and the nurses said that the only thing now is to wait for the nutritionist and the psychotherapist to put in the paper work, but til now nothing yet. Been calling the surgery center but all i get is the runaround.

How long does it really take for the insurance to approve the surgery!!???

Oh don't worry it took my insurace only 1 week to approve my surgery...now I am jsut playing the waiting game waiting for the actual surgery day. Watch you will get approved in a few weeks and you will be on your way to weight loss bliss!!! Good Luck~

At any rate avoid 1800-GET SLIM, aka WEIGHT LOSS CENTERS, aka TOP SURGEONS.

Why? numerous reasons … they had casualties, the way they do it, it is unavoidable, I went to their consultation and decided to do it with someone else, no one listens to what you have to say, you are not examined by a surgeon.

In general the atmosphere is very unpleasant and uncomfortable. I am 5 months after and very happy about my decision to do it with someone else.

i agree i have now been charged over 18,000 and i haven't had the surgery....be careful be very weary!! I would run
