  2. Haha I had called my insurance to verify they got the authorization, they were like no at first and then was like oh yeah but they haven't worked on it. Less than hour later coordinator called. Let's keep in contact since we're going around same time. Can keep each motivated Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

  17. I'm in NYC and I'm June 7thCongratulations Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Oh yeah, my nutritionist recommended Flintstones vitamins chewable Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

  20. When he told me the band was a much better option, I was like WTF!!!!! I'm like he wouldn't dare say that to the score of people that have HAD to have revision. He's a great surgeon, don't get me wrong. Top notch hospital and all that. But I refuse to do the band. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
  21. Congratulations!!!! Are you excited, nervous, scared lol all of the above??? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App All of the above! Lol my surgeons office is submitting my file to insurance this week so I'm more nervous about that right now!! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I know the feeling. We submit tomorrow. I have put so much into this, I'd be unhappy if they denied. But they are pretty straightforward with what they are looking for. Praying and fingers crossed for us. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Yay!!! Let me know when you hear!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Everything went well, met with the nutritionist. Got my list of approved foods/liquids. Coordinator says she will submit either today or tomorrow and it should be approved no problem as everything they ask for is checked off. Only concerning point is my surgeon is really against me doing the sleeve. He prefers the band. Told me I'd likely gain all the weight back. It was very off putting and almost made me change my mind back to band. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Wow. That baffles me. My surgeon hasn't done a band in over 2 years. He has seen better results with the sleeve. It almost sounds like your surgeon has an ulterior motive for pushing the band. Stand your ground girl. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Lol yeah it's because fills are self pay. What a nice way to rack up a ton of money from me and then bring me back in after a year so for revision to sleeve or bypass. It's a money thing purely. I've read too many reviews from people who had band and done research. I'm not setting myself up for failure to lime your pockets. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
