  1. :thumbup: I am at my wits end!! I can’t take it!! All this waiting is killing me!! I don’t understand why does it take so long for simple reports to be done!! I did my part why does t take so long for the nutritionist and the psychologist to send their report to my doctor so that all information can be sent to the insurance company already!! Whyyyyyyyyyy?? Lord Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?? It’s in sane!! Or maybe I am going insane!! For the love of a french fry!!! I am so excited and anxious to start on my journey that I bout to bust!! I try to find stuff to do but that is not working!! I try doing my assignments for school but my focus just is not there!! I need help any suggestions?? Warm milk & a bubble bath did not help!! :ohmy::thumbup:
  2. Hey HDmama!! I am in the medical field and have been doing medical billing and collections for over 20yrs now and to answer your question when they say it's included in the global primary procedure.........you fills are at no cost to you. When the dr signs up with an insurance company and they sign a contract they agree to accept whatever is in their contract with each individual insurance compnay. The CAN NOT bill you for the fills when the insurance company denies it as "Included In The Primary Procedure" It the office tried to bill you for this then you contact your insurance company an have a rep call the dr. office to explain them how to correct their bill/or correct their billing process. I hope this has helped you out some. Any other questions youmay have on the billing nature feel free to ask me ~Smooches~
  3. I am in the medical field and I will say this to you you can simply tell them that you are going for surgery you DO NOT have to disclose what type of surgery that you are having because of HIPAA laws. Which stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act its against the law for them to ask or discuss or even try to find out what type of surgery you are having or about any other health information concerning you. If you have time put in for it now use what time you have available to you. I don't see why they would deny you if you put in the time early enough. The other suggestions that others have gave you are interesting if you should decide to go that route!! Good luck on your upcoming surgery!! ~Smooches~
  4. Congradulations & speedy recovery!!!
  5. I have faith in you I know you can do it!!!
  6. Stay focused all things will work out for you just keep PUSHING = Pray Untill Something Happens!! God never gives you more than you can handle he always has your back. Your time will come when you least expect it!! Glad your in a positve mood!! :smile2:))) ~Smooches~
  7. If I come up with anything I will definately let you know what would be good for you....
  8. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SURGERY!!! BEANS ARE A GREAT SOURCE OF PROTEIN!! THE BROTHS ARE VERY GOOD TOO ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU WIL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING SOLID FOR @ LEAST 2-3WKS BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS ON YOUR DR.'S PLAN OF CARE & PROGRAM SET-UP. I CAN FAX YOU SOME OTHER INFO IF YOU LIKE. I FIGURE HAVING ALL THE INFO & DIFFERENT PLAN IDEAS CAN ONLY ENHANCE OUR GOALS!! WITH A GREAT SUPPORT SYSTEM YOU WILL DO JUST FINE!! GOOD LUCK ONCE AGAIN!! ~SMOOCHES~

Gotta be the scale I know I changed my eating habits to prepare my body for surgery again but wow!! Doing this good on my own I can’t wait until I get banded!! I will do even better I just know it!! The final step will be tomorrow when I meet with the psychologist!! I can’t wait!! I am so ready for to get my revision!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhh!!! LAP-BAND® America here I come!!! :thumbup: :cool:
