  1. I had surgery a year ago. Insurance covered it. However, I recently took a job with a new company that does NOT provide insurance. I am having to get my own policy but I am having trouble finding a company that will cover me because I had surgery. Does anyone know of any insurance that will cover me? They don't have to cover fills but, I NEED INSURANCE! Thanks!
  2. I bought a NINJA! It's amazing!
  3. My surgeon put me on a brand called Bariatric Advantage. By themselves, they are just "OK." However, if you add ice and fruit, they taste just like a milkshake from STEAK AND shake.... http://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog
  4. Who is your insurance provider?
  5. I have Fed BCBS. I went for my Psych Eval and consult with the exercise group on Jan. 5, 2011. I met with the dietitian and surgeon on Jan.12, 2011. All of my paperwork was submitted on Jan. 13, 2011. I received a phone call today, Jan 27, 2011 that I had been approved. I only have to do a monitored diet for two weeks before surgery and they said they could get me in as soon as three weeks.

    I meet with the psychiatrist, nutritionist, and the dietitian on Wednesday. My appointment with the surgeon was pushed back a week because of scheduling conflicts. I can't wait until Wednesday! I feel like this has been dragging on for an eternity. I feel really anxious tonight because so much is happening at once. School starts in a week, new group of students at work this month, and starting the LapBand process. Money is really worrying me. I feel like I have enough money to do one thing but not everything. No matter what, LapBand wins out this month. I'm fortunate enough to have the insurance I do for one year so, I can't waste time!!! I wish I could just figure out how much my co-pays will be this week.
