Newbie from Georgia

Hey everyone,

I am looking into getting banded. I have had two friends that had it done and they are glad they did. My PCP gave me the okay and my diabetes nutritionalist is also behind me. Per my insurance I have to submit letters and medical records from all my doctors, personal trainer, and even friends to the review board. Just wondering if anyone has had to do this and what else I a can do to help persuade the review board. Thanks for any info.

I also live in GA; Emory in Atlanta plus insurance asks for all of this paperwork. Whatever you do - keep copies of everything, carry to all appointments as they can't always find everything! Protect yourself. I ended up in Mexico for surgery as insurance denied me, but my father had his at Emory. Even with preapproval, the day of the surgery they were battling until we left the house saying they could not do it, but yet finally did it. They could not find one of the documents he hand carried to them. So always have a copy! I encourage the surgery, I had mine 4/19/08 and have lost 31 lbs. so far. Dad had his 2 weeks ago and has with the prediet lost 35 lbs. It is wonderful! Good luck.

Hey there! Another GA girl here. I just wanted to wish you the best on your journey. I agree with the last post, keep copies of everything, and do all the faxing yourself. I had a nightmare trying to get my precert, but it helped that I got all my test results in my hand before I started.
