Last Journey waiting on insurance

[Spears 0]

After being on my lapband journey since last feburary. I have gone through every test and meeting that the insurance has required.

In October I was given the date December 20th now the nurse saids that Aenta is requesting five years of documented weight.

I called my previous hospital medical records and had them to fax the information to my lapband nurse she did that now they are saiding my case is pending. I was doing very well following my liquid diet just this last day I have stopped because I feel so depressed.

I am not sure if this journey is going to happen. I am starting to think know one really cares about the situation. Even the hospital what a waste of time.

Band on the run

Stay with it, I am sorry your insurance is a pain. Even if they approved you right away and you were banded tommorow, it would still take time for you to lose all the weight you wanted to. However the good side to this fact is that the time it will take you to lose this weight will be less than all the LIFE that you have spent being overweight and unhappy.

If you do get very frustrated and choose to change insurance go Harvard Pilgrim as they don't seem to require as many tests.

feel better,

Hey Liz

I am in the same situation right now. I have done everything and my insurance company, BlueCross/BlueShield of IL, requested a five year weight history. Now I wait. It is really hard to keep up the motivation becasue I really have been working hard and am worrying that the process may have come to a screeching hault. I am trying to stay motivated becasue WHEN they call and tell me that I have been approved I want to be on track. Hang in there, I know EXACTLY how you feel.
