Someone new from the surgeon's office contacted me this week and said the file was sent to insurance on Monday. I guess if I don't hear back from her next week I'll start checking with BCBS for a status.
I'm worried about the lapband compliance issue. After I only lost 25 lbs my 1st year, my surgeon started yelling at me about messing up his metrics so I left and never went back. No one else would adjust the band because they didn't want the liability. I then had to move to TX for my job and again, no one will adjust it. I've managed to lose 80 lbs total since then, but just maintained in the last year. I'm having a lot of pain around my port site and get the dry heaves, once so bad that I went to ER. I'm starting to think my insurance will pay for band but not GBP, which makes me worry about regaining the weight. But I'm seeing a therapist who specializes in ED and went to OA meetings for 2 yrs. I'm now attending SMART Recovery support group, which really helps. If nothing else, the lapband convinced me I have an ED, so it did me some good. Sorry to ramble, but it's nice to have people who understand how sad I'll be if I can't get a GBP. I've gone from a size 26/28 to a 20/22, but don't know if I can get any thinner without help.
