It's all i think about
Bobbe Schu replied to nic_89's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's not obsessing to want to be informed or to interact with others who are on the same journey!!! It's called "due diligence!" I'm thrilled that I've found this site AND that we have the technology today to obtain so much information -- not to mention making so many NEW FRIENDS!!! -

Once again, I would remind all to contact Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy if you need to appeal. Even my bariatric surgeon's office recommends them to patient's needing assistance. The website is wlsappeals.com. Their success rate in getting denials overturned is phenomenal and their rates are so reasonable with your initial call being FREE! Trust me folks--it's totally worth the time to speak to them! Walter Lindstrom is a bariatric patient himself and has been doing this since 1996. He KNOWS how to do this!!!! -

Bobbe Schu replied to Beauty+5's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
DON'T DO ANYTHING until you contact Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy. They can help you, I know. My peer-to-peer for band to bypass procedure was denied last week so at the advice of many on this site, I contacted them and THEY are appealing my case. Google them for contact information. You won't be sorry. I have a great deal of confidence that my decision will be overturned! -

I implore any of you entertaining the idea of self-pay because of insurance denials or demands to first contact Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy. You can find their contact information by googling them. Please! The initial call is free. These people are here to help us!!! -

Band removal. Pressure for RNY over Sleeve.
Bobbe Schu replied to adorkbl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I want to go from band to sleeve. I was to,d I need to do the whole pre op work up again which I am finding really annoying. Apparently insurance will approve removal at this point but won't even consider revision until I do the whole thing, psych, support group, etc. I just hope I don't do it all and then they still decline revision since I'm below a bmi of 40. I am like 36 right now. It might be worth your while to contact Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy. Initial consult is free. -
