New here

Hi all Just wanted to introduce my self. I have been at this surgery game for a while now. I have been denied by two insurance companies. My current company Cigna is a nightmare. I may op to go ahead and pay for it myself. I'm fed up with insurances and their bureaucracy. I won't go into the details of my problems with my insurance company it just not worth the stress and aggravation to drag it out. Maybe one day I will have the opportunity to reward there lack of competence and common sense. Well that's enough of the rant. On a good note my surgeon Dr. Erbella is one of the most positive and helpful persons I have worked with. He has taken the time to educate me on my options and work with my primary doctors to see this happens including dealing with the inept insurance company. If I get all the details worked out I should have my Lap-Band procedure very soon.
