Ok, so you all know I have been calling UHC since Friday when Dr B sent in the paperwork. I called at 5:25p today just to see if they got the paperwork and they did and the ALREADY APPROVED IT!!!:faint: :faint: :faint: The guy on the line said they had it and it was approved for...7-16 thru 7-18 I dont know if that is the actual date of surgury. I assume that Dr B had to put a date on the form, but I didnt expect approval in ONE DARN DAY OH MY GOD GUYS!!!!!!!!! Although, I dont think that I will really really believe it until I get a call from Dr B's office with their official word! BUT Oh MY:eek: :eek:

As you all have probably already got, I am NOT the most patient person in the world. Does anyone know if Dr B sends his stuff in to UHC by fax or by letter? I'm just trying to see if UHC has already lost something because when i called yesterday, the insurance lady said that she didnt see anything yet by fax or by regular mail. I dont to call and ask, due to the latest history of constant emails to the. Also,... they gave me the fax number to the approvals department. Kim, I already bet that you do have that, but just in case... I can send it to you.:omg: :speechles

I don't know if anyone has said this, but birth control CAN and SOMETIMES will stop the continuation of developement. The pill can stop implantation from occuring. It can cause an implanted egg to be "flushed" away during the week where you do not take the pill to have a period. The IUD's basis of function, in and off itself is to irritate the uterine lining so that a fertilized egg can not implant. Many heart medications can induce an abortion. RU-486 was originally a heart medication. Abortion is not pretty. Abortion should not be a regular birth control method. I do not belive in abortion after the 4th month unless there are extinuating circumstances (life of mother, incest,rape) At the heart of the abortion debate is still God. As a biologist, you are not a "person" at the moment of conception. You do not have a brain, You do not have organs. You are a parasite. You can develope into a person, but you arent "there" until till way way way after the moment of conception.

Party? HA, nope. But I did manage to run into the stupid slide out on the camper and give my self a nice goose egg on my forehead and a nice cut. I tried to play it off, then the stupid thing started bleeding so i had to admit I ran into the camper. oh how embarassing!

I will be in Augusta again on the 22nd... for my late birthday party. So, I like the 15th better...but thats just me

Any cast off 24's?

Size tweeellllllllve... Siiiiiiiizzzzeeeee Twelveeeeeeeeeee!!!!! I suck at giving encourgement. But you got to a size 12, you ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car is going vrrrroooommmmmmm! **does Jedi mind trick hand wave*** You do not want a mini van Welll, you might.. if you want to have more kids, go on long trips and pack too much junk. One's enough for me. I'd rather have a nice sporty sedan! Like my G6 in the garage! Oh by the way, Dr B's office called me, they have everything in order to send to ins company!!!! Woooohoooo!

Not me... weekend with my parents. oh well. :cool:

You go girl!!!! Its awsome what you have done!

hmmm... Economic Left/Right: -4.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.64

Well, has he done any kind of gastric surgery or even done the bypass? What are his #'s on those? Getting in there and getting out are the same with the bypass and the band.. its the middle thats different.

Thats funny! I have one to add. My favorite bumper sticker I have ever seen is: Fat people are harder to kidnap.

My Grandma calls loom knitting "fake knitting". Its terribly easy to do. If you have a Michael's or AC Moore Craft store, wait until the 50% off coupons come out and get a set. Even with out the coupon, they are only $12. The only things I have made are a couple of scarves, a couple of hats and a blanket. The blanket did come out nice.

Glad to see your tummy feeling better Kim. I hate to have an upset stomach and with those stupid antibiotics for the h pylori, my stomach is not a happy camper. With food, no food, lots to drink, not lots, still getting upset stomach. only 6 more days of it left. Still no "itchies" , but I am figuring I will be soon. I did fall into a marketting trap and buy the new Bryer's light yogurt with PROBIOTICS (ta-da). Made me feel like i was just doing a little more for the situation. And other than that, and driving my new car, I havent done much. I do have scream HOOORRRAAAY !!!! for no more mini van. I hated that thing. I have a Pontiac G6 green, with sun roof. I looooove my new car. I am a pontiac girl. Its fun and has a killer sound system in it. I drive around listening to "Du Hast" by Rammstein almost all the way up. Yea,,, they are a German metal band. But, I also listen to Enya cranked on the stereo too. Melissa, I need your tri-lingual brilliant daughter to translate it. I know half of it... but some words I cant understand what he is screaming at me. So thats me in a nut shell. I'm gonna call Dr B friday to see what's the status of my paperwork. He's got everything. I just wanna know when he is gonna review it and send it to the INS.

I loom knit, does anyone else?

No,no, no.. Only if they believe the article are true. I found one laying around in the airport lounge during a layover. I thought I was gonna bust a gut laughing.

Oh anytime 5p I can meet

Do we really need one ?

Well, here I am. I have started officially on the journey. Yes, in the months before I had to get all the bloodwork and testing done. I have found out that I have low Vit D, H plyori and a small hiatial herina. Yeah. But I didnt really feel like I had honestly started on the journey track until Monday. That was the day that I called Dr B's office and was told that my file is on his desk for review. REVIEW! That to me was the key in the engine. Review, wow. To me this is the start of it all. I am serious. Dr B. is reviewing my file. I am now paying a man to look at all my results and send a paper in to my insurance company to say, "yes, its ok, give her the surgery." GIVE HER THE SURGERY! I am nervous, scared, worried, excited, happy, besides myself with all of this.

Maybe since she works in bariatrics, she's seen this before and knew who and how to talk to the ins?

I agree. People know in their heart what they want to hear and what they fear hearing... sometimes its a wake up call... some times its what they need. Mostly people can figure out that 2 paragraphs of a situation does not count as a therapy session. :cool: Oh by the way Dear AbbyKat sounds good.

Looks like you posted on a busy day and no one saw your post. I have not yet been banded, but hopefully soon. I am looking forward to getting a band, why? Well, because I think this surgery is safer than the bypass, and each surgery has its post-op disadvantages and benefits. I chose lapband because: I can adjust the tightness and restriction that I will feel I dont have to worry about "dumping syndrom" with RNY I dont have to worry about becoming malnurished that comes with the other surgeries. I am a volume eater and with the band, you just cant do that. RNY patients have a high chance of never learning real honest to God portion control, so after a while, when the body does learn to re absorb food stuffs, if you stretched your RNY pouch, you will gain back. DS surgery just scares the heck out of me with re-routing. Bread and Pasta do seem to be a big problem with some people. for others, it seems to be a "how much are they restricted" thing. I dont think its so much you have to weigh and measure all of your food, well maybe at first. However, your body will tell you when to stop even if the 1 cup of food is left. But the biggest reason is this thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=4642 all in all, its your body and your choice. Get with your Dr and see what he tells you and see if he can help you choose the right surgery that is for you. Cause yo-yo dieting is NOT good for you. Ever.
