May I ask why they denied you & how far into the process you got?

That sounds bout right a friend of ours had the band & was in an accident they gave him some meds that interfered with his healthy bacteria with the band. He went extreme to full bypass

You are in fight or flight mode. When on a airplane going down you are taught to help yourself first so that you are able to help others later! Take care of yourself first you've come this far why turn back. Rather ask your self why he's not doing the cooking & giving you the support that you deserve. Do this for you! Don't allow someone else's insecurities jeopardize your goals. Possibly a loving heart to heart convo is needed here. Set some boundaries. People get away with what we allow. Don't allow him to sabotage something that could change your life for the better. Hope this helps. Everything handled in love has a positive outcome.

Thank you that was extremely helpful. I guess I'm so ecstatic about the classes & the opportunity to change my life for the better I just didn't want to get upset in the end with insurance not allowing the procedure. But seems to me this is all just preparation for the patient to learn a new lifestyle

Why are you switching to the sleeve may I ask. I'm really nervous to do lap band but overly enthusiastic for the sleeve.

To the ladies with Dr Houseworth. I'm using dr Anwar from the same office in federal way. My insurance covers but with stipulations. I have to do 6 nutrition consults plus one group meeting & a psych eval. Then pending insurance approval then we can schedule surgery date. My first nutrition apt in on Jan 4th. I've already had my consult with Dr Anwar he has approved me as a Candidate for surgery. Can any one help me with this process like what I'm looking forward to learning what to expect etc.

I'm in Washington but just beginning the process
