This is something that I thought about doing for a while, by a while I mean over 2 years. I have finally gotten to the point where I am now being tested for sleep apnea and NOTHING I do drops weight. So of course I just go back to eating junk. I scheduled my initial consultation with the surgeon and now that I have....I feel like the appointment is TOO FAR AWAY! How is that even possible? Has anyone else had this struggle....where you didn't want surgery.....then finally decided and wanted it done yesterday? How did you deal?

Luckily my insurance has no requirements, so it will be surgeon requirements only.

The problem is.....and NOT the reason for surgery.....In 6 months I am a bridesmaid in my cousin's destination wedding in the Dominican.....so I have to work around that too!

I'm also nervous that they will be like great next month!.....Clearly I'm just impossible to please LOL.......

I feel like this absolutely the best case scenario! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!! I have a really good plan as well so I'm thinking long term this will be my best case scenario as well!

That is what I would like to have. I can't deal with the thought of having something foreign wrapped around my stomach and inside of me LOL and the bypass seems......difficult in comparison.

Luckily insurance is my life LOL.....I have a 500$ deductible and no pre-surgery requirements with insurance.....no hoops there!!!!! I guess it's....SO PERMANENT.........but then again CLEARLY I cannot do this on my own.

I have no idea....initially they told me a week......so after a week I called and they said they only have one person transcribing the results so it should be more like 2 weeks. Also I'm in the Springfield area! Baystate for sleep and I'm thinking about Mercy for surgery

I am an appeals specialist for an insurance company. The best thing that you can do or ask your Dr to do is 1st and 2nd level appeal, also ask for a peer to peer review (Dr will know what that is). See if you can get a copy of the policy and read with a fine tooth comb the exclusion and the reason for denial. If all else fails you can go to the Dept of Ins for the state you live in.......Also I am more than happy to help you out if you have questions or need help understanding the insurance lingo, its kind of what I do. Best of luck!!!!

I'm on day 9 after at home sleep study......patience is a virtue!! I'm DYING for a good night's sleep!!!!

I feel ya!!!!! I won't go on a trampoline anymore :-(

Krista27 I'm glad I'm not the only one.....every Dr appointment I went to for the past few years they ask me if I want a referral and I always turned them down.....until last week.....my initial consult isn't until December now :-/
