I thought I'd post the first thread to get the Buddy Threads going. I'm from Massachusetts and would love a buddy through this process if you're game

Well saw my PCP today and faxed in the new paperwork my insurance needed. WE'll see if the 7/11 date is a go! I sure hope so!

Good luck losing! I called insurance today and none of information they had was right. Prolly why I was denied! Second call was a message to surgeon to figure out what's up. Sometimes I wonder whose working at the insurance company

I hear you there eg. I'm going to have to call my insurance company to find out if they have everything they need and to see if they've given approval or not. I have a date for July 11, I sure hope it's not another let down. Thinking if I call I can plead my own case as well and being that my full time job is dealing with insurance companies I know for a fact if the patient calls, they can sometimes get further with the company than the doctors can. We'll see. Still have my fingers crossed! I really need this to help me lose weight. My lapband was a wonderful tool and helped quite a bit until it slipped TWICE!
