I received a voice mail today saying that my ins has approved me. I'm so excited!!!! The message said for me to call tomorrow and make an appointment. It said to have a couple of days in mind. Do you think it meant to have days in mind for my surgery or just for an appointment for some more preop tests. I so excited. I know I'll find out tomorrow exactly what she meant but I can't wait. BTY I'm using Dr. Felts with Lapband Solutions in Richardson, TX..

Thanks!!

Okay... I called today and the office was closed on Fridays. UGGGG!!! I did talk to a lady and she said that they would call me with a payment sheet for me that lets me know excatly how much I will have to pay. After they tell me that they will transfer me to the surgeons office to schedule an appointment. She wasn't exactly sure but said she thinks it will be an appointment for a preop visit and then I will schedule the surgery date at my preop visit.

Does that sound right???

Thanks so much!!!! I am soooooooooooo excited!!!!!

I got insurance approval and just went to the Nutrition Class. Contacted the surgeons office and they say it's bout a 3 to 4 week process in getting schedule. My Doc is Dr. Brengman from Richmond, Va. Anyone else have to what that long to get a date?

Hi. I am also a patient of Dr. Brengman. Since I am paying myself, it seems things are moving quickly. I attended the seminar mid-April, had my consult with Dr. Brengman on April 13, and my surgery date is July 24. I wish I didn't have to wait that long, really. I have my psych consult at the end of May and the nutrition class the first week of July. I am excited and ready to do this!

Wow, congrats on getting a sug date already. I work for Anthem BlueCross and Blue Shield which was great as I had no problem getting approved. However, in the authorization system its showing my surgery date is 7/10. Don't know if this is correct or not but Richmond sug is not telling exactly yet when my date it. :woot:

      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.
