Hi Vicky - wahoo you will be one month behind me, I wish you a very successful operation and a speedy healing time!
Typically I have lost one kilo this week after 6 months of losing 4 kilos in total.... I have focused on the protein first and dropped the carbs ( nearly) in preparation of next week.... Of course my band is now behaving as I have very little fluid in it... I think it still needs to come out 9 years and who knows what has happened on the inside... Very worried about the adhesions and scar tissue that I know I have from multiple other major surgeries... Surgeon is ready for it taking considerably longer than normal, Gallbladder coming out too...
9 Days to go!
Keep in touch!

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

After a big fight with my insurance my band was removed and I was revised to rny gastric bypass on May 3. I'm 9 weeks out and down 22 lbs... It is a lot slower for me than other rny patients but I'll take it. I'm very glad to be completely done with reflux of any kind, and I can eat whatever with no pain ( my healthy diet of dense proteins, sf yogurts and veggies and fruit

How did the Dept. of Labor help? I too have been denied twice!
I was banded in 2005 and had great success and lost almost 100 lbs. With that being said, I have had nothing but trouble since 2011. I have fought with insurance for over a year and once again was denied. I have decided to go to Mexico to Dr. Ortiz and have scheduled my surgery for August 17. I wanted the bypass in 2005 and the Dr. talked me out of it but now I will have my day. I'm scared to death but excited to! Prayers for all of us and hoping we finally get this weight off!

Hey Brooklyn108,
I'm actually fine with your comment. I was very nasty to people back then.
