Hello everyone I am getting very discourage with this process, I guess I shouldn't say with the process it's more like I want to really hurt my PCP, getting the necessary information from her is like asking her money or something, not only did I have to pay $35.00 for my ltr of medical necessity and wait 7 days to get the ltr, now the people at True Results are having a hard time getting her to fax over my medical records, not only that my psych appt was for next friday (12/4), now I have to postpone that until 12/11 because I have to have surgery on my achilles on 12/03 and the Psych Dr doesn't think I'll be in a good enough mood to come in on the 4th to complete my eval. I am just ready mentally to really start this new chapter in my life and I keep hitting road block. I guess I am just tired of waiting....:ohmy:

It is a slow and frustrating process and for someone like me with little or no patience it can be torture.

Just remember, anything worthwhile is worth waiting for.

hey i am in GA as well and i also go to true results. i started my consutation in sept. 2009 and my ins. requirers 4 month supervise diet so my last appointment will be Dec. 17 from there they will send my paper work off to my ins. to get apporoved. its good to know some one in my home state and also some one that go to true results...i hope everything work out for you.

OMG..i was just looking at your profile and you stay in forest park..i stay in riverdale

Good Morning Ladies and Happy Thanksgiving I appreicate your comments and I do realize it's a slow process but I thinks that I'm mostly frustrated with my PCP because she agreed with me that the Lapband would be perfect for me, but yet and still she's not getting the paperwork back to True Results in a timely matter. Yes moviestartaal I do live in Forest Park, is Dr. Hart doing your surgery?

Hi, I'm from Georgia, too! I'm going to Emory University's Bariatic Center. I am feeling a little discouraged myself but just my time not the Center. The center is requiring I attend their Info Seminar, and the next one is not until January 14th. That is feeling like a Life time away. I really just want to get on with it.

Sounds like you have really gotten so much of the requirements completmented. You will have the Psych Eval done in a just a short time. Before you know it this is all gonna be behind you, because you will be a Banded Woman!!

:ohmy:

I have been considering this for a long time and started working on adjusting my eating habits and physcial activity in January of this year. To date I have really not made any progress but my Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, and PCP think I am going in the right direction.

My first consultation is next week... and although I have worked so hard to get to this point my insurance company wants 6 official months of diet/exercise therapy so I may have to start all over again.

I wish you the best and you know that every step you take, even if other doctors and policies push you back, will be a step to get you to where you want to be.

Hang in there!

Hi stl2atl07 I can't wait to be a banded women:rolleyes2:, I have changed my way of thinking and eating and I feel mentally ready for this, that really stinks that you have to wait until January 14th :frown:, but the way these days have been flying by it will be here in know time. :wink:

teburgess wow you've really been on the right track:thumbup: and it's to bad that you have to start at the beginning again, but it's all going to be worth it in the end. I sometime have a problem with patience but since I'm having surgery on my right foot next week I'm hoping for a surgery date for my the end of dec or beginning of Jan. Good luck to all of us!!! our day is coming....:thumbup:

Hi ladies!

I am in Fayetteville. I just attended a seminar this weekend. I too would be using True Results. My coverage is not effective until 01/10...but if my carrier uploads my 2010 plan info, I can get started in December. Please let me know your thoughts and any "hiccups" and good things that you have experienced during the process. Thanks and good luck to you all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

wow your not that far from me. Well so far as the process it depends on what your insurace requires. My insurace required 4 months supvised diet. 2yrs of me being over weight ( i had to get that from my doctor) and a bmi over 35. So you would have to check with your insurace to see what they require.

Hi I haven't been on the board for a couple of days, but my insurance doesn't require a supervised diet, I'm just having a hard time getting my Dr's to send over my medical records which is the last thing I need from them. I have my psch visit next saturday, it was supposed to be this friday but I have to have surgery tomorrow on my Achilles tendon on my right foot, so the Dr rescheduled the appt.
