Topic: RE: Anyone have a revision performed?

What type of surgery did you have? I had a RNY in 2001, and just had a lap band in 2007. The 2001 surgery was unsuccessful, but appears to have been done wrong. I've had great success with the lap band - lost over 200 lbs. Started at 391lbs in a 34W pants and am hovering around 190 in a size 12 jeans now. Had a lower body lift in Sept and planning to have a breast lift and brachioplasty (arms) in March.

Topic: DS Date Christmas Eve Morning!

rebeccawyatt55 is from Kentucky and flying in by herself for DS surgery at Methodist Hospital. Her surgery is in the morning Christmas Eve. I am picking her up to take her to and from the airport. I was thinking since she will be in Omaha- far from home- over the holidays- maybe some of you could stop by. I am going to try my best to get in there a few times. I feel bad she will be all alone for Christmas in the hospital. Her surgeon is Dr. Anthone, as was mine.

I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season! Rita

Cool...I didn't know you could do that! If they don't call you, I would definitely give them a call. You'll have to attend one of their seminars. Their next one is on Thursday January 14...I think it starts at 5:30? Maybe 6:30...they can tell you when you talk to them.

Thank you for your help! I went to his web site last night and sent them a little message about my interest, so hopefully they'll call me Monday.

I think he is...I have BlueCross/BlueShield of Nebraska and was approved for surgery on the first try.

Another friend of mine has to wait until they become a Blue Distinction of Excellence (or something like that)...although they and the hospital they use are a Center of Excellence...so I'm not sure what the difference is. Her BC/BS is from out of the state of Nebraska.

Their insurance person, Christy, should be able to tell you.

Good luck!

Topic: Help! BCBS Blue Choice Members

I just found out today that I have been denied by BCBS. I am so upset! They said that I have not done doctor supervised weight loss. My husband had the same surgery I asked for in March and he never had the doctor supervised weight loss. Anybody have this issue?
