just asked today i have to get approved first but he said they r pretty fast so i hope i can get approved i dont c why not i meet all the requirments

will i have to get insurance approved before i get surgery date ? or does it depend on surgeon?and can it take awhile to get a date?please share your experiences cause im surgeon is diff.

im not banded yet but im on the 6 month supervised diet and i slip up all the time just remember we have a lifetime of eating habits to change and slip ups r going to happen just forgive yourself and move on try harder next day at least thats what i do you have to find your own way of dealing with this you'll find something that works for you.

hello all im from fort smith,ar.not yet banded hoping real soon.

its over fast and the give u some good meds and wont remember or feel a thing after that

how long after surgery was everyone able to go back to wearing jeans?

im also having to do the six month supervised diet im on my forth visit 12th.im not sure if they go by months or visits not sure if the count the first visit with surgeon if anyone knows please let me know. and time does seem to be going by pretty fast not as slow as i thought it would.good luck

has anyone had bleeding after egd?

found out they cover it.

if you tell some ppl and they find out later will they be mad cause we didnt share this with them(i haven't been banded and i was wondering the same thing who to tell and who not to tell and what to tell ppl that notice my changes)

does anyone know if uhc pay for nutritinist?

how do u think he will feel later when he finds out he might hurt u didnt trust him enough to tell him.best to be honest only my opinion good luck with your surgery and thanksgiving

thanks everyone one and good luck on ur journeys

hi everyone , i have to do the 6 month diet and i was wondering what kind of diet plan they put u on and i was wanting to try to start now just so i can get used to it.i have already cut out soda and i started replacing one meal with a protein shake.i have a bmi of 46 and i dont want to get below 40 not sure to loose or not some say u need to lose some so they see your ready for the change and some say dont cause they think you dont need the surgery.i would love some help and one other thing i cant get my protein powder to mix very well any tips for me would be great thanks.

heard back from my surgeons office today got my app. set up for nutritionist for nov.18th.and my first app for my supervised diet 17th.and my upper endoscopy and i have to set up my psych app they said i have the six months to do it in but im going to set one up right away just in case they r behind.after i do that all i have to get through the next 6 months i just hope i dont go through all this and ins.turns me down im going to be pretty upset.i'll keep everone posted wish me luck

lol i know we'll learn it

i also have united healthcare,im going to try to stay postive and i know it will be worth it .ive been over weight most of my life so six months should fly by.thats for your response.

oh ok thanks

i see pb on alot of post im new and dont know the lingo yet .

i know dont mean i have to like it hoping the time goes by fast and insurance approves it.

had my consultation they said i have to do a 6 month diet and i have to get my own dr.records that dont seem right! and it took 3hrs after my app.time to c dr.i was last one out they were turning out the lights as i was leaving.not off to a good start .

not feeling yucky and in pain be able to hold my head up in public and not feeling like everone is looking@ me.

i went to a weight loss clinic for a yr. lost weight but gained it back when i stopped pills they had me on.they stopped working so here i am if i dont get this surgery not sure what to do seems i tried everything

could anyone tell me what all do i need for my app.(info) i havent been to no seminar yet and do i have too i dont want to go in blind to my app.they didnt tell me to bring anything.i havent filled out any paper work yet so whats some of the info the want?
