Ah I see. We don't have anything like that here. You either use your insurance or you pay for it out of pocket. Is the care you get just as good if you choose to go puclic? That is so exciting about your surgery being tomorrow!!! You must be thrilled. Good luck I'll keep you in my thoughts during the day.
I personally am working on getting all of my preop appointments taken care of. I've done my blood work and have the sleep study and seminar scheduled. after these things get done the surgeon send it off to insurance and they'll approve me for surgery or not. I hope to God they do! I hate all the waiting, I wish I could just get everything done right now and know whether I could get the surgery or not. I've been through all this before, back in December I tried but my insurance denied me. I have other insurance now, the insurance they give the military(my husband is in the Army) and it's great coverage so my chances of getting approved are so much better.

haha well I'm only 5'1" so I would like REALLY short next to him -
Congratulations! You should double check with Triwest though because they usually approve you just for the consultations and orientations first. THEN after that your surgeon submits the referrel to them for the actual surgery. At least that is what happened with me. I just got approved for the consultations so it looks like we're in about the same stages. Good luck!

Karen just 27 more pounds to go? Thats fantastic! I hope I do as well as you. I'm planning on joining a gym as well so it should help a lot. Thanks for the support!

I've begun my journey towards Lap Band surgery. I'm in the process of getting things taken care of...blood work, sleep study, meeting with the surgeon, etc. My surgery will most likely be next month. The problem is, my husband is in the Army and is serving a tour in Iraq. He won't be back until May of 2010. I feel like I'm all alone in this, and I won't have the support I need. Anyone else out there in my situation? If all goes well, I could potentially look like a whole new person when he returns home; I'm SO excited.
