  1. I swear I'm going to get angry. No paperwork at bcbs yet. SMH.
  2. Psych eval complete. Hopefully the coordinator submitted everything to insurance today. Now I wait. Hopefully I will have an approval by next week!
  3. I need to do a one week liquid diet before surgery. Everything else is done and ready to go.
  4. I live in Raleigh. Hopefully I will be sleeved soon.
  5. I am in the same boat. All the way unfolded. Waiting on this last thing to submit to the insurance company. Did you have to get another psych evaluation?
  6. Congrats. I know it's a great feeling.
  7. What insurance if any do you have! How long did it take?
  8. Ok all reports received by surgeon. Hopefully they will submit to insurance. Now the waiting begins.
  9. Had my barium swallow this morning. With an empty band. The radiologist says it looks fine. But I had an egd Thursday and the gi doc says the band is at the base of my esophagus. Now what? I want this thing out.
  10. I'm 5'4". At my current weight my BMI is 31.8. Did insurance cover yours?
  11. This year? Was your surgery a revision?
  12. I currently have a failed band in and am converting to the sleeve soon. Hopefully. I've lost 55 pounds with the band. Now I'm holding steady at 185. My surgeon is ok with doing the sleeve. Anyone been sleeved at a low weight?
  13. I'm 30. Have two boys 13 and 8. They understood when I got my band. I haven't talked to them about my revision until I get approval.
  14. The stuck feeling. The vomiting. The eating but still being hungry. The uncertainty. I think I could keep going. Can't wait for my revision
  15. Any one have this insurance and have problems getting revision covered?
