Hi Nikki. Sorry about the drama you're going through. Look on the bright side...it's not the insurance this time!!! Just hang on to that fact and the fact that God will see this through for you. Watch your weight though...you don't want to give them another reason to postpone the surgery any more than it has to be. I know how you feel...I've been on my journey for about five months...I had to go through the whole insurance thing, but now I have a date...May 20th. So, hold on and be strong. Best Wishes. P.S. I'm from New Olreans...living in Ruston, LA!!!!! Go Louisianians!!!!!

oh nikki i am so sorry to hear that!! It sucks because i am on the same boat. I was schedule to have my surgery April 25, but I had to cancel because of insurance purposes. GHI denied me!! They suck. Well right now i am going through the appeal process. My surgery is going to be delayed another month or so. And all i could do is pray and think that one day i would be skinny.... lol. Nikki just take easy and let me know for what date is surgery .... Dan Castro

Hey Everyone My Surgery Was Suppose To Be Monday April 11, 2005 But It's Going To Be Rescheduled ????????????? Yes Your Right Your Guess Is As Good As Mine. It's Not The Insurance This Time. It's The Dr. Office Worrying About Getting Paid The Full Amount Or Whatever. But Who Cares. God Knows That I Need To Have The Surgery So All Will Come Through....Anyways For A Second Issue I Have Gained About 15 Pounds Or So Since I Have Quit Smoking!!!!!!!!! That Has Made Me So Depressed I Know That It's Normal To Gain Weight When You Quit Smoking But Geeze 15 Pounds?? Oh Well Like I Said I Can't Worry About In The End God Will Take Care Of Me And Thats Whom I Have To Depend On. As Soon As I Get My New Date I Will Inform Everyone. Thanks To Those Who Have Left Messages On My Surgery Page I Appreciate It! Until Next Time Peave Love And Rock N Roll Nikki.

Topic: RE: Type of surgery?
I had Open RNY with the Micropouch... I wanted to lose all my weight that is why I went with the Pouch... Plus I was 300 pounds I had some weight to lose. Plus I wanted to know the pouch could and never would strech out over time. They can only do the pouch open at this time because they need to feel what their doing. when I walked into my surgeons office I wanted the band but he changed my mind really fast on that . Do I like having a huge scar there NO! have I gotten over it YES! I have lost over 100 pounds in 8 months with the band that would have not happend for me. I needed this weight off so that is why I did it Open RNY. I think all WLS are good .. whatever floats your boat you should go with.

Hi! I am 16 and i got approved 2 days ago...my surgery is on the 20th, our insurence is Tricare Prime, my dad is retired...you can check out my profile if you want....the only thing i can think of is to appeal, because if you wait it might be another additional year before you get the surgery.....
