I JUST RECEIVED  a call from my insurance company that ..... She isn't sure what happen or why, but her boss just called her and told her I was approved for my revision surgery and I don't have to wait for the council meeting on May 24. 

I DO KNOW what happen .... They were denying me for bogus reasons and I'm desperate and tired of playing their games and jumping through hoops so I called the UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR !!! They got involved and contacted my insurance company. The department of labor got on their butts !!! 

Anyways .... This band is coming out May 9 th !!!!!! Woohoo thank you for all of the love and support on this board, and I'll be checking in on the revision board as well!

They actually bumped me up and I was revised on May 3 ... So tomorrow I'll be 7 days out... And starting my Pureed phase. I'm feeling great ! I woke up in a lot more pain than I was prepared for.... However after day 1 and walking off all that co2 gas they pumped into me ... I was feeling fine since. Now I get tired around 2 and 7 pm and need a little rest. But other than that feel very very good !

My insurance company was denying me for reasons that were not required by my insurance and thought they could get away with it. I met the qualifications and sent in proof and they still denied me. They can not legally do that . I contacted lindstrom obesity advocates and they were willing to help Me and had the department of labor not taken care of it by simply making a phone call to request a copy of my policy and to let them know they were looking into the matter, I would have hired them in a nano second. I had the paperwork from lindstrom already filled out . Find out what your insurance requires in writing and if you have met their qualifications then they can help you
