I just clicked "submit" on my application for the new insurance plan. It will go into effect on July 1, and as soon as it does we can start the request for precertification process for my re-banding.

Step 1: COMPLETE.

Man, I sure hope my doc's office is right and this carrier looks kindly on rebanding. :pray:

Good Luck, I have my fingers crossed!

We're all pulling for you, Alexandra!

I'm doing the rebanding dance over here for you!

Best of luck to you.. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Best of luck to you, Alexandria. Hope it's smooth sailing all the way.

Susan

Good luck!! We are all rooting for you.

I'm crossing my fingers and sending up a prayer that all goes well for you!

Thanks everyone! I woke up this morning in a really good mood and had to think about why that was for a few minutes. :scalesno:

Crossed fingers definitely appreciated!!

You're on your way! Here's to hoping all the other steps go as smoothly!

I will keep positive images of an approval coming your way!!!

I am praying for you! I look forward to reading your posts because you are so encouraging and positive. Your go get em attitude is awesome, I just know this is going to work out for you. I hope you get a YES very soon!

The insurance policy was approved and I have my group number in hand. Just waiting for Monday, July 2 when I can fax my new insurance info to the doctor, and they can start with the request for precert.

Watch this space for updates!! FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Hi Alex,

Havent been here in 7 months and just saw your post. I didnt know about your band slippage. I hope you get a new band soon. I just moved to Georgia from TX and cant find a doctor to do my fills. Not one so far in Atlanta who will take insurance and the ones that take cash want way too much $. So I sit with no restriction and a lot of weight gain since I have not had adequate fill since August 2006. Anyway, hang in there.

Hey Babs! Nice to hear from you. I'm sorry you're having trouble finding someone to get a fill from. Maybe there's a FillCenter somewhere in the state?

Good luck with everything!

That is awful, I would definitely look further out and even drive if you are gaining back what you've lost, it just isn't worth it, you don't want to end up back where you started...hang in there.
