Im New & Was Just Submitted To Ins Today!
IMSKINNY replied to scorpio2479's topic in Insurance & Financing
My advice is to call them regularly to check the status. I felt like my paperwork was sitting on everybody's desk until I started calling. -
Had I not been approved by my insurance, I was definitely going to Dr. Alvarez too! Good luck...
-
I will definitely say a prayer for you! It will work out! Trust...

Im Not Ashamed But Need Help Coping With Questions I Dont Want To Answer...
IMSKINNY replied to LorenaVaca's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think I'm not prepared to deal with the questions. My office is soooo nosy! All of us have been caught up in the office gossip about why so and so is out of the office. I don't really care what they think, but I'm just not sharing until I'm ready. So, my story is that I'm having a procedure to deal with some underlying heart issues. And, I'm sticking to it! -

Sleep Apnea...question
IMSKINNY replied to scaredoftheunknown's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't had the surgery yet, but I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I was apprehensive about the machine as well, but I'm starting to like it. With regular use, I have been sleeping very well with it. The facial contraption takes some getting used to, but overall, it's not too bad. I was told to bring the machine to the hospital on the day of surgery. -

I had three months and the first month didn't count. Started in May, ended in June. You should ask.

Sudden Hopelessness.......
IMSKINNY replied to Justine13's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I totally feel your pain. After 90 days of mostly 2 meal replacements a day, I had a loss of a whopping 1 lb. How old are you? I'm convinced that I have reached a really bad hormonal place because I am 45 and looking menopause square in the eye. I just can't seem to lose. Although I didn't really lose during the diet, I was approved. This has been hard, so I know what you're saying! -
Woohoo! Good luck to you!

I don't have Aetna, but was told my ins uses the same guidelines. They accepted 3 office notes for 3 visits from each year. I didn't have to have a complete 24 months of visits. My PCP'S nurse chose the visits with the highest and lowest weight to show that had tried before.

One of my friends gels hers down all the time and just goes! I always think she can get away with the shortest looks because she has a perfect figure! I can't wait to do the same! Welcome to the chic, short hair club! Once your hair is healthy and strong again, try a few highlights! You'll love it!
