NEW to all of this

It is a long process but so worth it. I worked with my husbands doctor for 6 months, getting the paper work together and all the test appointments set up for him. It seemed like it was never going to happen. He was banded this month and so far so good. Hang in there...it is worth it in the end.

Just recv'd phone call from the surgeon's office. She stated that the insurance company called and said that I was denied. that I haven't had a BMI of over 40% for 3yrs and or documentation of weight loss discussions from my PCP. I'm totally bummed at this point. The surgeon's office manager said to wait for the denial letter so we can appeal it together. She also said they work with someone from LAP band that get's involved as well.... I'm still praying!!
