Hey guys, Just updating on things. I have been so busy with finals this week. One more and I'm over :clap2:. Now I'm off to bed soon to wake up and take the train to school to save money on gas. I can't wait for my surgery, I'm so sick of people at work asking me if I'm eating a lot more since I know I won't be able to eat, or what kind of surgery I'm getting blah blah blah. I feel like saying it is none of their business :phanvan. I told my boss about the surgery, ONE PERSON and now EVERYONE knows. I hate that! Honestly, I only wanted my parents, one or two close friends to know and that's it. Apparently not. Also my job is stressing me out so bad. The holidays in general are stressful. I can't wait until it's over! Does anyone have plans for New Years? My friend and I are trying to go to Boston for a couple of days, if not then we'll have a small get together at my house with another couple. I'm so glad I can vent on here, I'm glad I have support. I guess I'll be off to bed :notagree so I can make the 8:24 AM train:faint:! Peace, Andrea

I have HealthNet. They are the devil. I was on a 6 month diet, and went through all of their hoops and was denied. So I tried to file the appeal myself and basically their CSR's are about the rudest people in the world, I now have a lawyer who has taken care of the case for me and she said that HealthNet was the worse Insur. comp. she's had to deal with so far. Get used to be putting on hold and re-routed. If you do get denied PM me, I have a phone number of a woman who will give you your stuff out of the Headquarters in Shelton, CT don't ask me how I got it, I have my connections :girl_hug: Good luck with HealthNet, but if you can save the aggrivation and self-pay.

Hey, I have someone else with the same surgery date as me! Sooo cool, PM me jeanettej505 if you wanna chat!

Due to the craziness of surgery, I decided to pay for lap-band out of pocket and fight with the insurance company and just wait it out. I'm new here, my name is andrea and I'm from Connecticut. I'm hoping to get some info. I was a little nervous about my surgeon's price for the fills, but found a place that does it for a lot less expensive, so that's a positive! Hope to talk to you all soon! :roll:

I guess I have to share and say that I'm a January bandster as well. 1/26/07 one week after my vacation where I'll probably be nervous the whole time thinking about surgery!

Thank you thank you thank you so much for your support!
