Love your tattoo! They did a fabulous job!! You are such an inspiration!!

It has all worked out! Ended up having to pay $1500, but a whole lot better than $3500!

It seems that insurance has there requirements and then each surgeon has requirements. For me:

Insurance

6 month supervised diet prior to approval

psych eval

Surgeon

EGD

EKG/Stress Test/Pulmunary Function Test

Chest Xray

There may be other requirements depending on your medical conditions, but when you go for that first appointment, they will map it all out for you. After that first appointment, you will feel like you have a plan! I was so confused until that point.

Had my preop yesterday with Dr. Duncan, all went well and I am set for next Friday, 10/8! I am so excited to begin this new journey!

Hang in there girl - it will all come together - I promise!! (((HUGS)))

I like choppy!! I need to try that virtual hair thing, I think I need a new cut too!!

I am not completely sure, but I do not think you will have any trouble related to either of those. I am praying for smooth sailing for you. I go for my Pre-op tomorrow!!

Congratulations on your 4 month bandaversary!!!! You are truly an inspiration!!!

Congratulations on your banding!! I hope your have a smooth recovery! I look forward to following your journey!
