maxwellsmart got a reaction from Caribear in And Here We Go...Howdy everyone..
It's been a long journey but I'm moving on a resolved to get this done..
In 2008, I was approved and had a surgery date set..then my boss sent me overseas on assignment, it was a situation where I had to go or lose my job. I wasn't banded obviously and went on about life....Move on to 2010, new job and now unfortunately my wife left me, same situation..struggling with weight and frustrated.. tried for re-approval, denied because new insurance didn't cover it.
Here we are in 2012.. new outlook, new AWESOME job..other personal changes that have been positive.. lost some weight, done pretty good but kept thinking I need to use being banded as a tool to push me to the next level. I visited True Results for the 3rd time and wouldn't you know it, my insurance covers everything! So, at my initial consult this past Thursday I went through all the steps.. nutrition, blood work, psych eval..everything. Now just waiting for formal approval from my insurance company.
I'm excited and horrified at the same time.. I've never had surgery and it scares the crap out of me..but this is FOR ME and what I need to do.
