    My 90days are up on 11/16 and thats when insurance paperwork will be sent in, my problem is i want to get banded on 11/21, so that means i would have to start my 2week pre-op on 11/7, but if my approval doesnt come in 2 days then my pre-op diet will be for nothing bc i cant get surgery on 11/21, I picked that day bc im off the holdiay week, should i just wait til im approved and schedule the surgery then, i know really its a win win right, bc i would lose weight during that time, but im not trying to be on all liquids if i dodnt have to be

    The nutritionist told me, that its up to me to decide if i want to take that gamble and start the preop diet, my surgeopn has alot of availbilty thanksgiving weekend, so thats why they said they tentatively booked me for 11/21...which prob means they didnt really put it in the system yet

    I went to my first support group today and I met an awesome group of women in all stages of the process. Does anyone in bandland find their support group beneficial. Study shows members keep off the weight longer when active in support groups

    Aetna approval

    rn2012 replied to amaral1407's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I hv aetna too, and I hv the same dilemma, I hv been with my pcp along time but my bmi hasn't been exactly over 40 the whole time, close to it, so fingers r crossed. As far as how much aetna pays it depends what kind of aetna plan u hv bc they aren't the same, my plan covers 100%

    Lap-Band Sucks

    rn2012 replied to 2x11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Hi, everyone in my support group either had the sleeve or getting the sleeve, but im sticking to my band decision, eventhough they loss more quickly, I don't like the idea of getting 85% of your stomach removed

    I went to my first support group last week, and i was the only one there that was getting the band,they were trying to convince me to get the sleeve, but im sticking with the band

    Thanks for responding, I need to know where to paste info at and which ticker to use

  25. rn2012

    Hi, can you tell me how to add a ticker, I like your countdown to surgery. I add my weightloss ticker a long time ago and for the life of me I can't remember how
