I wish I knew a dr that worked in a hospital and I can do sessions online with- Last thing
smh I have tried everything believe me and they were like no has to be in a hospital setting in order to be approved which is stupid. I had the surgery before and it was time to take it out now I have medical which is paying for it all but the medical group is making it hard to get this done. they don't have many hospitals they are contracted with so the ones they do have are on lockdown. I started to do ww anyway online but they said it still won't count.- Last thing
I am so pissed right now. I have done everything and the only thing left is 3 months dietician and nutrition. smh no one is taking patient therapy and I have tried to do Telehealth but they won't accept that insurance won't. I am so f**king over this covid 19 everyone is getting their surgery and I am literally sitting her stuck. wtf so close in a minute I'm just going to go to Mexico and get my surgery cash- next step
does anyone know why they won't tell you how many visits they just told me 8 units? lmao- next step
yes I got my referral approved so now physiology and nutrition.... app Tuesday for physic but nutrition is closed until may and we all know how that is going so yea. I'm gone stay positive but omg I am so ready to get back to a normal life. this house thing sucks- next step
So I guess I'm back. was banded back in 2012 and lost weight had a baby. Lapband had issues nothing new right. I had to have emergency removal 2018 and boy was it painful. any way I thought I could manage without anything in place at all. Boy was I wrong I gained my weight back and I am actually larger than before I had lapband. So I finally threw in the white flag and decided to the another shot at it. I had my consultation for the sleeve but as you all know. everything is on hold I am waiting for the insurance to approve next step not surgery. I know that is on hold. I just hope that I don't have to suffer to long from the next step. how is everyone else holding up and how are you staying positive- Submitted
Just submitted everything today so now the wait my date is June 20th but if approved sooner than surgery sooner woo hoo pray for me- Approved...!!!
I submit over thursday have surgery date for June 20th I can't wait to find out. Congrats how long did it take for a response- Sex Is Great
I am awaiting my time - How much would YOU pay???
