I guess every insurance company is different... mine made me do a 6 month diet prior to being approved for surgery... you're one lucky girl!
I hope you hear something soon! I think Dolly meant that you will hear something soon... just the fact you didn't have to do that diet... I bet you'll hear something asap! Hang in there! I hate waiting and waiting for news like that! -
Ummm... I havnt been told about anything with the 6month diet. I was told though by dolly when I asked her how long does it take to hear something and she said usually 30 days but in your case it shouldnt take that long...not sure what she meant by that but hopefully its closer to getting me banded lol. I will deff keep you posted.

I know what you mean about the never ending process... I waited a year... b/c of stupid insurance... but it is worth the wait!! I am in CO springs with my hubby... Denver is an hour drive away, but worth it for Dr. S... I would just call Dolly and talk with her A LOT. I'm assuming you are waiting on inurance/? .. that is how I got things to get done... she is awesome, I just think she has a lot of pts. she has to to deal with and you "bug" her, then she will remember you... LOL.. I sound awful, but it is true...did you have to go through the whole six month diet thing for insurance? I did... it's so crappy they make you do that, when you know what you have been through trying to loose weight in the past... Keep me updated on your slow progression to band land... it is frustrating having to wait... you just want it done and over with... but it is worth it!! I had my 2 week post op visit on Wed. and I've already lost 15lbs!! YAY!!
hang in there!! -
It is what it is

Ok, so waiting...as we all know that part sucks the most....especially when youre calling your surgeons office three times a day for three weeks just to find out if they have anything on your insurance to see if you have infact been approved or if youre still waiting......I knew nothing, all I know is that August 20th I went to see Dr. Snyder and I heard nothing after that. Finally! Finally I heard from Dolly, who deals with the insurance in the office. Come to find out they were late getting back my Dictation from the Doc.:thumbup: I was a tad furious...but the best part was that she said she was sending my insurance stuff in MONDAY! So. then of course as inpatient as I am I politely asked her..."how long is it going to take now after you have submitted my paperwork?" she mentioned it usually takes 30 days which is fine suprisingly because at least I know whats going on but she made me even more excited when she said " In your case it shouldnt take that long to get you approved!":thumbup: thats basically the face I had lol when she told me that on the phone. I am going to Disneyland first week of October with my bf and son...and Im hoping I hear something either by the time I get back, or there soon after to set up my appt for surgery. Ive been waiting for this moment forever! I cant wait till next year when I celebrate being able to actually ride the rides at Disney and anywhere else. This time around im just going to have to enjoy the smile on my sons face when he finds out that where taking him:lol:

What you may be incountering is a plato...its not a bad thing but its where your body is adjusting to all its change, and as you may not be losing inchs or lbs you may be gaining muscle as well. I could be wrong but I use to be a weight loss consultant at one time in my life believe it or not lol. Youll do fine. As soon as your body catchs up with your fantastic weight loss it will loss again, you have to also realize the less you have to lose the harder it is to lose it. Chin up youre doing wonderfully! Congrats for what youve done thus far!
