Looking For A Buddy In Nj

[evonnrae 39]

Hi All,

I had surgery in NYC on Aug 14th. I'm doing really well and would love to share any advice or support I can give. I went to Dr. Pomp. He is incredible and has taught countless doctors how to do this procedure.

I'm also from Jersey-bergen county

Congratulations Jessie on your surgery! How are you feeling? What insurance did you have? I have Horizon BCBS and I'm currently waiting for my write ups from the pysch assessment and trying to figure out what to put in this letter to the insurance company explaining my attempts to lose weight in the last 12 months. Once that is done off to the insurance company for approval. This waiting game is driving me nuts..I just want to get it over and done with

Just caught your post now...but I would love to connect too. I hope everything goes good with your insurance too! When did you do the seminar with the doctors?

I attended the seminar on 8/15 , consult with Dr. Ewing on 8/27 , pre op seminar on 8/29(?) Psych on 9/1, and NUT on 9/4 . What insurance do you have? How are things going for you leading up to surgery?

I have United Healthcare and I'm just waiting for the date. I was approved on August 29th, and my scheduled date is 11/15 because I had to wait to have a big enough break to get it done. I'm anxiously waiting for the date to come.

Hello! I'm feeling really good. I have United Health Care and my insurance plan did not cover my surgery at all so consider yourself LUCKY even if all the evaluations seem to take a lot of time! I would do it again though-even as expensive as it was. In terms of what to say to insurance-as detailed and heartfelt as possible is what works best from what I am told.

Best of luck!!!

@ Ashley, I was hoping to have the surgery with Dr.Trivedi from the same practice as Dr.Ewing but too expensive for a self pay so I am going on my mini surg-cation lol .

Hi Jessie44

I'm going in for a revision on Oct 18th and I'm scared out of my mind. I have the band which slipped so my doctor is going to revise it with the sleeve. How are you doing so far? Is it anything like the band in terms of the pain and or discomfort? I lost a few pounds with the band but after it slipped gained some back so my doctor thinks ill be better off with the sleeve.
