Luisajfc - I am at the point where I am afraid it is not going to help anything. I mean I have done all the classes and requirements date is set. I have read others post. I just feel like I am going to do this and then be the person who does not lose any weight. Of course this has been my experience with everything else I have tried.

We all have been there, I’m one to think that too, if you don’t take the first step you will always be there in the same spot.. so why not? Maybe this one? If I don’t play the lotto I’m not sure if I’ll win. So play, take your step, many of us are doing just that, don’t give up without trying. Don’t kill your self without living. We will loose, I can’t promise you that but we will loose that F*** weight!

Hi all! So I had Lap Band surgery in 2014 and lost about 100 lbs. Only to start having chest pains that my doctor said were caused by my band. So the fluid was drained, and back came all of the weight lost (except 10 lbs.). I asked for revision, and was denied by my insurance, but after writing a letter asking for an appeal, they have reversed that decision. Yay! Now back to life. Surgery for revision to gastric bypass is set for 11/07/2017. Excited scared!

Hi i'm November 21 can't wait

My surgery has been changed to November 21 as well. I have a new Dr as well now I am super excited

It's good to see I'm not the only one who is worried it won't work, been there and done the all the deits.

Does everyone already have insurance approval? Kind of feeling worried because my doctors office isn't going to send to my insurance in till October 26/27th. That will be when I've completed the required nutrition appointments. My tentative date is November 6th. This will be a revision from lab band(2007) to RNY

My doctors office submitted it to insurance first. We didn't set the date until after I won my appeal, and then I went for nutrition classes.
Maybe in your case they know they can prove medical necessity?

Hope that's it. They seem to think I should get approved it's just nerve racking. I have to plan child care for my two girls (1) and (3) and work around my husbands work schedule

Praying for the best for you! I understand the frustration. I have a 16 year old son with disabilities and a 2 year old. lol my mom is going to come stay a few weeks, since my husband works nights.

That's good your Mom is able to help. My Mom's health is very bad and she can't pick up the baby [emoji64] so somehow have to figure out how to get help for two weeks since I won't be able to lift her. But as long as I get the surgery I know I can make every thing else work out

That was one of my big concerns with my mother, and still is... lifting the 2 year old. I know she will have issues leaning down to give her a bath in the evenings. I'm hoping my sisters, or a niece, will stop by and help with baths. Otherwise, I'm hoping we can just get by!
