Iam nearing the end of the 6 month diet and just heard from the surgeon. I have an August appointment and all testing has been done. Has anyone had there surgery done in the metro detroit area? Has anyone been turned down after all of this?? I guess I have a case of the nerves this process has been going on since November 2007. Thanks:rolleyes2:

Congrats on getting this far! Where will your banding be done?

I'm not there yet either, I have a consult tomorrow, and have the 6 month dieting already documented, so I am hoping to move along fairly quickly.

Hi,

I had my surgery done in Ypsi, MI at the Forest Health Medical Center. Wonderful place, wonderful staff. Loved my surgeon and follow up doctors! Had no problems with insurance! My paperwork and approval went through very quick- I did have all my ducks in a row! Good luck and let me know if I can answer any questions for you!

HI! I'm from Metro Detroit. St. Clair Shores to be exact. I just had my band sugery on June 11th at St. John Moross by Dr. Hawasli. It went awesome.

I did not have to do a 6 month pre op diet. All insurance companies are different. I have BCBS out of NY and they just ask for history of weight loss attempts like dr. supervised and weight watchers etc. So I just had to get a recommendation from my primary care doc and a psych evaluation and surgery clearence and my insurance approved everything pretty darn fast.

It took about a month to get all the required doc appts done and paper work turned in I was approved by insurance on may 20th and had surgery June 11th.

I am sure you will get approved. Like I said some insurance companies have different policies.

Keep me posted!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
