Hi everyone, I just got all my information submitted to my insurance company today. I have Cigna PPO and I hope everything goes well. I gave them all that they requested and them some. I'm a stay at home Mom of 2 children and I'm 5ft 2 in and weight 205. My BMI is 37. My only problem is that I'm kinda of on a time line here. We change insurance company to BC/BS of GA at the end of Sept. So in need to get this approved and done by the end of the month. The good part of Cigna is that we have met all the deductables, even our out of pocket which mean the surgury would be covered at 100%. What are my chances of this happening???? My doctors office advised me to start calling the insurance company by Thursday if we don't here from them.

Does anyone have any advise on how to make this happen any faster.

I send them the 6 month's letter from the doctor on my weight in's and dieting progess. A letter of recomindation from the same doctor. A diet history as far back as I could remember, a letter from the phys. therapist and dietation. A letter from the phychologist, from my OBGYN and Chiropractor, and blood work.

Do you think that I covered it all? I probably sent them too much information and they are going to wonder why!!!!

Anyway, LOVE this site. I've reading it for a while now and just decided to tell my story to you all. Wish me luck in jounrey of the lap-band world. I'm so exicited to have this done, I think this will make a big difference in my life.

Thanks in advance for any advise!!!!

Terry

  I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
  I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
  Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

  Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well. I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening. So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this?? Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

  Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
