I Just Got My Approval! I Also Have Atena Pos.

Oh yeah check this one out. At my doctors office they have told me they submitted all my clinicals and then when I called the insurrance they said they never recieved them. I then find out that my doctor has now decided to retire and now I have to wait to see who is going to take over the practice. I'm just as angry as you are.

My paperwork was just sent off today and I'm so nervous and axious to see what they are going to say.

Hey so how did everything go? How do you feel

Have you heard anything?

So hows everything going with you and your insurrance? My paperwork will be sent in on Monday. I also have Atnea pos. I am so nervous.

I you don't mind me asking why were you denied the other 2 times?

Doesn't that just piss you off that they won't talk to you? I mean we are the one pays them a but load of money every paycheck and your telling me you won't tell me the criteria. I had the same thing happen to me but I have Atnea pos. Sorry I just needed to vent.

So did you start getting this ready before or after your band? What do I do to begin the process?

I am so nervous. My doctor will be sending in my paperwork to my insurrance. Atnea is so damn difficult. Good luck to you.

Ok so when you say 3 month with your doctor thats with the surgeons office correct? I have not followed with my family doctor only because she doen't really believe in the lap band, but then she isn't overwieght.

Why were you denied the other two times?

OMG! you have me so scared because I have everything ready to be submitted except one year. I have Sleep apnea, a bmi over 50 and four years out of five. In 2004 I lost my mother and I was a terrible wreck and was not seen by anyone. I went to curves but that was about it. Oh by the way I also have Atena pos

f you don't mind me asking which inssurance company did you have?

Tell me about it. I was soo tired after my test because like you I sleep on my back. I have to go back and do another one this time with the cpap. I hope this will be the last test I have to go through. Come to think of it but my doctor has yet to draw blood. I hope I don't have to wait on that.

Have you been banded yet? If so please tell us how your doing

Well when I went to the nutrisionist (sp) she gave me a packet that shows a schedule of what you would consume in a day during your first few weeks after the band. I have no idea of what to expect thats why I would love some insight on someones first few weeks because I really want this to work :help:

I only told my managers. How did all of you handle your meals at work? I work in retail and on a register all day with only a fifteen minute break. Your advice would help alot. :biggrin1:

I work in retail so how do you juggle work and having to eat every 15 to 30 minutes? :mad:

My husband and I have a great relationship but I often wonder after I lost the weight if it will change anything. I mean how will I feel if he is more turned on after I loose the weight. Don't get me wrong I don't want him to go the other way but it just makes me wonder of what he really thinks of me fat. I don't know what I'm saying does anyone out there get of what I'm trying to say? :faint:

Hey lucy how are you doing? As for me not so good. My next app. is on the 27th and I'm afraid that I have not lost any weight. Over spring break my Dad came down to visit and oh that man can cook. My family does not know about the surgery. Oh man I'm scared to even get on the scale. I hope you are having better luck than I am.:phanvan

OMG! I haven't even gotten through my 3 month diet plan with my doctor and I haven't lost that much weight. I hope that it doesn't delay my surgery. Has anyone out there not lost a whole lot of weight before surgery? :eek:
