Submitted to insurance!



Recommended Posts

Submitted to insurance today, I should know within a week or so if I'm approved. So nervous, and so hopeful! Everyone on this site has been incredible!!! It really helped solidify my decision, and I'm so grateful for everyone's input. Fingers crossed now...... Call me tank top, cuz I need a sleeve! :-)

I'm right there with you. I was submitted on Wednesday and looking forward to a call next week with good news. I have a band right now so my approval will take a bit more of a push, but I'm being positive. I am looking forward to being back in full control and headed in the right direction on the scale. My surgery is scheduled for April 9th and I want to keep it that way.

Good luck to you!

Hey! April 9th is right around the corner!! Good luck! Because of my work schedule I can't actually have the surgery until the summer so my date is June 24...it can't come fast enough! Lol keep me posted! Would love to hear the great news when you're approved!

It's soon, but not soon enough for me. ???? I'm ready now and would have the surgery before the month's end if it wasn't for work. Plus, I guess I have to wait for approval. LOL.

I'll be sure to keep you all posted and I look forward to your updates as well. I love the comradery on these boards. It really helps. I was on here when it was Lap-Band Talk and I was prepping for that surgery. Once I was banded I dropped away from the site. One of my mistakes. The support on here helps so much and I plan to keep it up this time. Good luck everyone!

I'm waiting to hear from insurance as well! I'm not sure what I'll do if my plan doesn't cover the procedures! I've heard getting financed is a nightmare! Keeping my fingers crossed! I have Cigna Open Access....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
