    I was approve last week for surgery but for some reason Im not excited. I guess its because the office Im working with is so unprofessional. I love the surgeon but his receptionist and insurance coordinator don't do their jobs and its ridiculous. If I don't hear from them this week Im switching offices.

    Thanks Everyone, I actually contacted another office that my surgeon works out of and they called the office I was working with and transferred all of my information over to where they are. I got a surgery date for December 11th and my pre-op appointment is Dec 4th. Im sooo excited. I learned a lot from all of you and glad that I didn't give up.

    Countdown to the big day.

    I agree that it can get the best of you. I hadn't even gotten my approval yet and I'm was scared because I didnt want to make the decision to do something in which I may never wake up from but I've heard so many success story's. I also met someone at a baby shower two weeks ago and she happen to be talking to me about and suddenly she came out and said that she had gotten the band and how she had it fore two years and it was the best decision of her life. She looks fantastic and she was so proud of her decision and for me that was a sign from God that everything would be ok. I hope this has helped you in some way.

    Don't get a lap band

    Thanks Bandista for saying that because I haven't gotten mine yet and somethings will scare you away from making the choice to move forward.
  9. How long did it take to receive approval from insurance company for your band? I have BCBSIL PPO+. If anyone has that insurance and can help me get info that would be great

    What was your weight pre op and what is it now?

    Thanks a lot. Just wanted to see how much I could possibly lose the first month.

    BCBSIL PPO+

    This question is for those who have BCBSIL PPO . How much of a deductible did you have to pay for your surgery ? How much was your deductible ? Was it met during pre-op?

    BCBSIL PPO+

    Have you had your operation yet?

    BCBSIL and nutritionist not covered

    Oh ok. Wasn't sure if that was your situation. From what I went through that was the situation with me. Thanks for letting me know

    Approval: Healthcare Exchange Plan - BCBSIL

    Thank you!!

    BCBSIL and nutritionist not covered

    Which plan do you have? What surgeon are you using? The reason I ask is because I was told the same thing and ended up going to a differ physician and finding out my insurance did cover it. If the dietician isn't in network that is the reason why.

    Approval: Healthcare Exchange Plan - BCBSIL

    I have BCBSIL PPO + and I had my first appointment with the surgeon today. I called to see how much of my deductible was met for the year and was told 2339 of the 4000. So my question to those who have a deductible is will the surgeon proceed with pre operative testing if your deductible hasn't been met just yet ?
