Last Journey waiting on insurance



Recommended Posts

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,

Dan

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.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
