Congrats!! I will be glad when I say the same...

Thanks CaWannaBand I really needed that encouragement right now....???”

Wish me luck guys all of my information was re-submitted to the insurance company today. Of course, I was denied on the 1st time around. So I'm sitting here with my *fingers crossed*. How long do y'all think it will take this time? Should I be a nervous wreck? ???¬

Wish me luck you guys all of my information has been re-submitted today for the 2nd time into the insurance company. Of course I was denied the 1st time around. So I'm here with my *finger crossed*. So how long do you think it's going to take this time? Should I be a nervous wreck?

Any November Banders with Dr. Bagnato???

Good job..... U look great

The insurance just said that I was denied because I needed to complete the following criteria which I didn't know.....so I completed the 3 months of weight loss program with supervised doctor, psych & nutrition eval. Along with med clearance from my medical doctor. All those things are done and I have submitted them to the doctors office then to the insurance again.....fingers crossed

Good luck.... U will do well

Congrats Lamina!!! @ Stephers21 do you have health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. I was denied the first time so I've completed everything that the insurance asked for so I'm waiting on approval.... Fingers crossed

Thanks you all have been so helpful!!!!!

I have finished the weight loss program but the office is not sure what they are suppose to be giving me.....they gave me Progress Tracking Sheet which consist of my attendance, weight, BMI, & waist. Then I was given a written note saying that I was a candidate for bariactric surgery.....is there something else I need before submitting this

Can anyone tell me exactly what info they want from the weight loss program I attended? Us there a form that has to be filled out? Please help getting discouraged!!!!!

Awwwwwww....thanks!!! One more question how does self pay works. I know you pay out of pocket but is there some kind of payment plan u set up ?

Thamm, I could really use a friend right now that has been through it already. I meet with my Nutrionist tomorrow then my psych eval later. What can I expect on my visit tomorrow? Were u banded locally by Dr. Bagnato 2?!??

Thanks utcaneuser & sanction for the info. I told the weight loss office that I needed a letter of medical neccessity but the lady was asking what was included. I thought the office should know that part!!!!

I have completed my 3 consecutive months of being medically supervised by a weight loss doctor. Can anyone tell me exactly what the office needs to send or write up for the surgeon.

That's sooooo great Thamm!!! I can't wait until I can speak those same words. I'm glad everything is going well for u continue to keep me posted on your success:)

Thanks Miranda & again congrats!!! Keep me posted

Thanks Miranda & again congrats!!! Keep me posted

My BMI is no where under 35....I didn't know if it made a difference or not cause I don't have any pre-existing conditions like high BP, diabetes, etc....

Talooka, so after you went through all the consult about how long did it take to get approved. I'm almost through with my 3 consecutive months with the weight loss doctor, but I'm going through with the other stuff right now

Hey Lexi I was trying to find you on FB but I'm having some problems

Hey Miranda, congrats on your surgery date. Well I'm trying to have the surgery I've been denied with my insurance company. So the insurance company have me doing the 3 consecutive appts with a weight loss doctor, nutrional & psychological consult along with a medical clearance. I kinda got a little discouraged but I'm going through with everything. Just trying to find out if you had to go through the same situation. How long did it take b4 you finally got your surgery date

Has anybody from the Macon area had LapBand surgery with Dr. Bagnato?!?! Please tell me more
