    August Sleevers Check In

    I am so happy to say the peer to peer review went well, I AM APPROVED!!! AUGUST 11th!!! These last few hours were so stressful, I was mentally psyched, physically prepared, scheduled my vacation days off for these weeks . When I heard denied I fell to the floor, I was devastated. But after the review and my wonderful nurse I am back on track to have the surgery on August 11th!!!!!!!!!!

    August Sleevers Check In

    I just heard from Cigna I was denied. As I sit here in tears, I was told last Friday that everything was going thru, that I should start the preop diet. Well here I am on day 2 of this DAMN liquid diet and have been told that the doc needs to resubmit paperwork and have a peer to peer review, why do I even try!!!!

    August Sleevers Check In

    Hi there I'm scheduled on August 11th for my sleeve!!!!!! I'm having the procedure at Windber medical center in Windber, PA by Dr. Moon from Alleghenies Surgical. Getting nervous! My preop diet begins on July 28th.
  9. Hello there, Wow it's great to see someone from my area on here! I saw your location and am also from western PA!! However, I am just beginning the process, I have decided on Lap Band surgery. Can you tell me a little about your initial visit to the doctor. I am scheduled to go to an informative meeting on December 5th. Back in 2008 I began the process, but decided to hold off and wait, we were trying for another child. I remember meeting with the nurse and then with the psychologist but that was when she told me that it may be a good idea to not have the surgery since I had some doubts and was actively trying to conceive. Just wondering if anything has changed. How long from the initial visit to the actual surgery? I am 37 and weigh 297 and am 5ft 9in, I'm hoping to lose weight and have better health. Hope to hear from you!
