Good luck I am also being banded on the 15th. Cheers to our new journey together.

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! The first day of my new life.

Thank you for words and helping me put up mu tickler. Can I ask you do you see my picture. I am trying to figure out that now. I see it on my profile but not on the posts?

Thank you so much for sharing. I am alittle nervous but ready to change my life for good. I did not have to be on a pre-op diet. I just have to fast today.....the day before my surgery. Please keep me posted.

My insurance company denied me saying not medically necessary. I am going ahead and having surgery on a cash basis. Does anyone know if I can appeal the insurance decesion and possibly get reimbursed my cash payment.

Having surgery on 12/15/08. I am getting excited.

How do you add that tickler at the bottom I am so bad with computers. Does my picture show up? I want to know if I did it right.

Thanks for the words and I appreciate you easing my mind. Can I ask you did you spend one night in the hospital?

Wow now I am getting worried. I am having surgery on Monday. And you say the pain is worse than a c-section I also had two c-sections.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. I am also in So. California and am having surgery Monday 12/15.

My name is Maria and I am being banded on Monday December 15th I would love to find a mentor to chat with. My e-mail address is mroseharvey@yahoo.com. Thanks and wish me luck. Maria

I am new and I wanted to share a little about my story I have been overweight most of my life I have a BMI of 35.6. I went through all the pre-op testing and my doctor submitted everything to my insurance. Well today I found out they denied me "not medically necessary". I guess I am not sick enough or heavy enough for them. Well they have no idea about the pain I have in my feet and ankles. I also have high cholesterol and arthritis. Well I cried most of the day today because my isurance denied me. Thank god I am married to a man that adores me and he hates to see me in pain everyday and he especially hates to see me cry. We called my doctors office and we worked out a cash pay and I am scheduled for surgery on Monday 12/15/08. Wish me luck.
