:guess I am sorry there are so many road blocks! All I can offer is a big hug. I hope that you get your approval soon sweetie. What a wild ride!

Ugh...I was told yesterday, absolutely, positively the nurse would be calling me back to give me a date on my surgery. By 4 pm I was nervous, so I called them. The nurse for the 3rd day in a row "forgot" to put my file in front of the dr. to get final ok. Now I have to wait for her to remember to do it tommorw and get a call next week. I know good things come to those who wait, but I do not do well with incompetence. She giggled and didn't even apologize, like it is funny.....grrrrrr..... :help: :Dancing_biggrin:

Hello all, I am 29 right now. 30 in December. Less than 6 months away now. I feel closer to 30, I have 2 awsome girls who are 5 & 7 and I have been married to the same man since I was 17. Can I hang out with ya'all? I am I close enough?? lol... :clap2:

I know how hard this is, we had a similar situtaion in the spring. I know it is the hardest decision ever to put a pet down, but you must remember you are doing it out of love for them. I held on for a long time with Mary, and finally realized I was being selfish. She was not living a good life anymore and I was trying to keep her with me. It was the hardest ever, but I do not regret it. I had to let her go to let her be free. I am sorry. If you need to talk I am here. I have been there.

Well I did what they told me could not be done. I got insurance approval in less than a week. How did I do it? I called several times and talked to several people until I found the right one that was willing to help me. He just happened to be a man that I could sweet talk. I turned on the charm heavy and he told me what to send him. He got the approval letter sent to Hurley in less than a week! Wooo hooo....! Tommorow I get a surgery date! Yeah!

Hey guys, I have a question it is what is bothering me the most about being banded. I was told for 30 minutes before, during eating and 30 minutes after I could not drink because it would empty the pouch too soon. I drink alot (water) with my meals. How do you eat and not drink?? Any sugestions or alternatives that work well for ya'all? :hungry:

Hello all, Finally learning to get around all of this so I thought I would introcuce myself. I am waiting to get my surgery date, I was told I will get a call tommorow. I went to the Dr. the first time on June 21st after almost a year of considering this. I am very excited, which dropped after they told me it would be 6-12 weeks for insurance approval.....but they don't know me very well. I called CHAMPVA and got the approval letter sent to them last week!!! YEAH!! :clap2: SO now I am waiting for a date, I have done all of the other things I needed to do. So if anyone needs help with CHAMPVA insurance let me know. I got mine approved in less than a week! I am excited to get to know all of you! :kiss2:

I am very excited. I have been tossing around the decision for awhile for by pass. My primary doctor is not behind me at all. I let her get into my head, but I have finally had enough. My family is behind me, my husband is very excited, even know he will be buying me a new wardrobe. I am doing the band because I am young. I like that is can be adjusted and you aren't just "stuck" with it, like and R-en Y. I met my lap band doctor Wednesday. Everything is all in line, I just need the pre autorization letter from my insurance. The office staff told me it would take 6 weeks to get it form Champva, so I decided to do it myself. I was told I would have it in hand by Monday. That means I can scheduale surgery in July!!! WOOOO HOOOOO! :clap2:
