  1. @@allycatt98, Thank you. That was very helpful information! If the Dr office is missing documents, basically the insurance company will not approve the surgery? If they disapprove it, will I be able to appeal the decision? This is scary bc I have to follow this 6 month process and not even knowing if I'll be approved or not. I just hope I have all that I need when that time comes. Again, thanks for the info!

    Congratulations on losing 40 pounds!! Continue doing what you're doing and don't get discouraged. Women, we tend to lose inches first b4 anything else! At least you've dropped a size down, so that means something! Keep up your good work and progress!! Can't wait til I'm where you are!

  6. @@CurvyCakes Do you know what reasons they do not approve people?
  7. I was told it could take up to 30-45 days. Not sure how true it is, however, I believe they have to review everything and make sure you have followed everything they've asked of you to grant the approval. Hope this was helpful!
  8. Stunning!!! You look amazing! I'm officially a believer!!!!
  9. Awesome!! Way to GO!!! How did you lose 15 pounds already?! That's amazing!
  10. Have you already had the surgery? If so, and if you havent way to go!! Congrats!!
  11. @@m&m4ever you look fabulous!!! Congrats to you! I have a question... i recently decided to have the lap band surgery, how long after the surgery did you see results? Also, what have you done different to keep the weight off?
  12. I am very excited about getting my surgery and even more excited when I read all of your positive feedback to others! I also made my decision to have the lap band a couple of days ago. I have already started making small steps like eating smaller bites and slower. I know the closer it gets to time for my surgey the greater the challenge will be, but I am depending on God, my husband and all of you for support!
