Oh OK. Good luck on ur journey

Hi i was looking at your information why are you scheduled for august instead of soon. just curious

Hi Josie, And that is exactly what i meant in my answer. not looking for any trouble dont want to start any debate it's your experience and i noted it. i dont come on this web to fight or get people pissed off i come to learn from others experiences and hopefully i can share something that will help other. thank you.

Angry is not the word humiliated that i pay for insurance never ever was i not covered and ppo which is a pretty penny. you know.. im just saying that was my feeling or my opinions i get it itsl like paying for car insurance never have a accident until one day you do do and they drop you or charge you OFF. Its' all a RIP oFF no matter how you slice it. it is not for the people. lol ive worked in insurance before car insurance and it was a small owners insurance company and this was like 25 years ago and i was disgusted at what i saw and had to do its all about money in their pockets nothing else.. lololol.

someone posted that in some states bariatric is a mandatory coverage in some states is this true i haven't looked it up yet.

do you work in an insurance company. the lady above just gave her experience as to what she has witness at her job. Unless you do work for them or own one how do you know its a myth. just curious. actually alot of people get on and have been denied several times with them having all information requested i dont know this whole thing seems like a game playing with peoples lives. like ive said in many many post over weight people (US) dont just roll off the bed one day and ask for surgery nooooooo we have been through our personal hell with emotional eating binging every single diet that comes out plastic surgery therapy medications ect ect the list goes on so it already aggravates me the questions they ask...like have you tried diet before or excercise or have youbeen to a nutritionist or check off what have you tried this whole crap is bull shytt if i just walked in to an emergency room dehydrated from not being able to keep anything with the band they immediately hook me up give me liquids send for and xray send me 3 different specialist to look at me (for 500 a pop) and give me an unfill or more iv at 300 dollars a bag i see the (this is not a bill statements ) all without asking me did you try to drink Water. how many times a day when was your last piss or sip ect ect insurance pays for it..so all the opinions or suggestions i take to heart i take what i want and leave what doesn't make sense to me. im just saying.

Wendydarling19, Did you find someone yet? i forgot to mention Dr. Ewing put my lapband in, in January 2006. im staying with him for the revision. the only problem im having now is waiting for approval. arrgggggg.

They got their nerves when you or (my husband) has worked and payed off this insurance for years Motherfuckers! oops i just got in my feelings..

Thank you for that information will use if i get denied again not forseeing that though. thank again alot of people need to hear this or read this especially the one 's who are ready to give up or not that type of fighter.. thank you so much ..

oh thats gas move move move walk walk walk sip on hot tea take gas x it will go away soon

all your feelings are normal they get better everyday... im having revision on 4/6 dr. ewing in NJ

YUP! I AM .

Peanut Butter is not just a trigger food its a nightmare for me ....peanut butter is my comfort food oh my God im not going to be able to buy it and not eat it . i can go through the 2 big costco jiffy or skippy peanut butter in a month. i'm finishing off the second one now surgery is april 6 (tentative date) no more after that..

I would call them back keep your foot on their neck. that is what i am doing now. i was denied the first time they said it was missing information so everything was done and my doc resubmitted last wednesday im still waiting if i get a denial again i am prepared with plan a plan b and plan c....they can tell you over the phone you ask the rep to talk to a manager immediately they cannot deny you that that is your insurance that YOU pay for.. good luck hun.

another suggestion i can think of is when doctor comes in to check up on you (if he does) to complain to him. I'm sure for the sake of his Practice/Good Name he will get on them in whatever lanquage they understand. I would, actually i would tell the nurses myself to please clean this or do that or dont touch me what ever language expressions you use they will get the message loud and clear..and if i am in the mood i will tip them trust me the job will get done the way you like since they will be with you for the duration of your stay...

Hey Sanchez, Hope you got what your asked for ....."Ok...So be Honest With Me....." and " ..."Hope to Ignite some Answers" You made out just like your suppose to on a open forum. (and More) no one is better than anyone here we are all here wanting to get some answers information support truth and honesty good or bad because we are all FAT, UNHEALTHY and MISERABLE and we want to make a change. the truth may hurt sometimes but it is what it is The truth. No one is here to judge and i certainly didn't get on (since No one had answered anyway) to do that. But, any whooo i hope some of your questions were answered. Good Luck on your WLS journey.. the "old bitch"

wow wow wow now i am super excited ! i have asking questions re : having surgery in Mexico JUST IN CASE MY INSURANCE ISN"T APPROVED. i contacted a few including the one my girlfriend went to. His name is Dr. Ramos Kelly. He did my girlfriends surgery (lapband) about 8 years ago.. she is still doing great she never had a problem and still doesn't she went to see him only once to get a fill under the floro and have not needed to go back . she lives in California she drove herself there. how much did they charge you for your sleeve surgery was it a revision or first time sleeve.
