forgot to mention, I may be scared all the way up to the surgery 9/21, but, I won't let Fear stop me...keep moving forward cause we have a bigger goal to achieve. Funny thing, my hubby has decided to some type of "diet" along with me to help us both be accountable to each other.

oh my, i'm getting scared now...I'm supposed to start on Sunday

Congrats!

Happy healin!

TrueResults submitted 8/23 and it was approved 8/27 by Fed BCBS.

I just changed to Dr Reilly. Just called insurance and found out I was approved; anxiously waiting for True Results to call for confirmation ad get me scheduled.

True Results submitted 8/23; it was approved Today 8/27! Doin the happy dance...

I am using True Results Houston and just got approved by Fed BCBS. Paperwork was submitted 8/23 and today it was Approved!

I just found out I was approved by Fed BCBS...just waiting on the surgery date!

I'm hoping for the same fast response! True Results submitted my records last Friday.

Good luck! I have been reading, researching all I can about the process and through this site have gathered a list of questions for the surgeon.

Congrats!

I had my last med supv visit last week; now waiting for insurance approval. Hoping for Sept surgery real soon!

What is DVT?

My plan was to do everything I can to get in some kind of shape before the surgery. I joined the gym and got a personal trainer in March. Now, I exercise 6 days of the week; one of those days is water aerobics which is my fun slacker class. I'm hoping this will help somehow. I just can't stand the idea of stopping for a long time; hoping I can get back to my routine 2 weeks after the surgery.

Good luck!

I sit at a desk for 8 hours. My plan was to take 6 days of work off but start teleworking from home perhaps by day 4.

I have it in both legs. I'm not taking water pills as the Dr said it wouldn't work n was proven before the diagnosis. I've been concerned about lymphedema n the lap band. Glad to hear it won't impact weight loss...

I'm going w True Results in Houston. I feel like I am being wel, prepared for what is to come! Everyone is Great! I have 1 more dr visit to insurance submittal, I am so excited!

Congrats!

My mom refuses to see my brother n I as adults. We r both in our 30's; I'm married w 17 old twin boys but still get the annoying questions regarding our parenting, etc. I have chosen to only tell a select few people about the surgery. She will find out a few months post op because the questions, etc simply bother me n I dont need any negativity. This is all about ME. I understand your pain, hang in there n remember why u r doin this...
