  1. Hi, I'm surprised they accepted it on the first run. I was worried. because I don't have alot of xtra money to go into new programs... or anything like that. I have gone thru almost every dieting program. also, done a personal trainer 2ce. I dont' know what makes 1 person more acceptable than another. Minnie:)
  2. Let me ask, what state do u live in? I was told fills are covered under the insurance.
  3. yeah!!!! i got my answer approved. waited 2 weeks. 1st time around. date is awhile away. aug. 9, but, definitely excited.
  4. Hi, did u have a problem with approval. i have diebetes and high blood pressure. my bmi is below 40. but, I have 2 problems now. relatively in good health otherwise. I went to the surgeon on the 13th. I am waiting to hear. i live in new hampshire. thx Minnie
  5. I have aetna ppo also. I know they cover the surgery. i qualify, i have diebetes and at 40bmi. but, when u call they won't tell u the criteria. so, they tell u your dr. should know. my surgeon appt is in March. Hr said if i get denied after they put it in.. they will corporate then.. to find out exactly. I think insurance is going to hold me back. good luck. Minnie:)

  7. :huggie: Hi, I am looking at doing the surgery at catholic medical in Manchester. I have my surgeon appt on March 19th. Yeah!!! I am excited. Nervous. I am coming back that a few days b4 from a big trip in las vegas and arizona for 2 wks.. WEEEE!!!! I just know if my insurance will is go thru. I have aetna. I am 38, lost my weight I needed. My goal is to help my diebetes. I would like to feel better. and be more energetic. Minnie:)
  8. hi, Just seeing if anyone else out there with having dr. campbell. having surgery there. Just wondering experience? thx Minniegiggl
  9. :help: Hi, I was wondering how long a driving restriction would be on? how many wks do they recommend after surgery to be out? I have 6wks on my insurance for 100%. Also, after 2yrs if u gain weight and u still have the banded ... do they fill u again or adjust it. that stays in .. so, i would think the dr have more control than an rny. do they take the port out? just wondering thx.. Minniegiggl:clap2:
