Just called my insurance company and i have been approved. Busted out crying at work out of pure relief and excitement. Waiting for a call back from the surgeon's office on next step. I am beyond excited at this moment!!!!!

to all of you that have been banded I want to say thank you for the advice (the good and bad times) that you bring to this forum. I have read and studied and made notes from all of this. I know I have the support here to fall back on when i feel down or out. THANK YOU!

That's really exciting! I all but jumped up and down when the ins. told me I was approved! I went around and told my close coworkers and they cried with me!! I'm getting banded on the 21st and know that I have an amazing support system on the forum and at work :)

Now i am freaking out. the surgeons office asked me to call and have the insurance company fax a letter stating i was approved instead of waiting on it via mail. the guy i spoke with asked if my surgeon was in network. With my insurance to cover the doctor has to be in network..now I am confused and wondering if i got excited too early.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
