  1. Justdoit130 how long have you had the band?
  2. Instyle that sounds like my program with aetna how how many weeks before they gave you approval for surgery
  3. The insurance said they cover 50 percent when they talk to the true results Center they said they covered 100 percent pending I meet the criteria. I hope they are right I guess it is better to let the specialist talk to the insurance company
  4. Thank you for the feedback I'm looking to hear more responses as well... I'm sure there's a way with caution... I am somewhat active so I don't want to lose the ability to do some of the things that I have already been doing to become a better me
  5. What's the amount of calories they give post lap band after mushies and liquids?
  6. Christi/ minimum was that big loss with adjustments
  7. My husband went with me on my initial consultation/ first appointment and.is going to be supportive I am sure...he has no weight issue and will probably be like a drill sergeant lil...I used to dance hip hop and teach areobics cannot wait to get to 130-140 goal! Starting at 232 ahhh! #supportive hubbies are the best and discouraging ones are fuel for motivation.
  8. Blondie638 that's great...all how soon after doc informantion sent did they confirm your past history of obesity or did the centers call you right back...I just want everything lined up and no issues or delays

  10. Wow... did the company call them and ask and they said no initially? TRUE RESULTS. Called and said they covered it? How long ago did they send you a notice love?
  11. Anyone have Aetna insurance with 4 month wait and 3yr proof of 40 BMI ? If so did they put you through the ringer or were they cooperative...i just don't want to be all geeked up and the big insurance company try to throw a wrench in it to save their big pockets
  12. Thx all...so excited to have a site where everyone is supportive and I can research while I prep for April...
  13. I have Aetna too...they required proof of being over weight 2+ years 4 months nutritional and weight management visits, with my BMI....was this 9 months an additional requirement, just wondering if that's something I would have to do too
  14. Had my first appointment at true results in Houston...staff was very nice ...my insurance covers 100 with certain requirements. April here I come...
