SO.. i have been on my journey to getting banded since about OCT. the hardest part is waiting for my insurance to give me the green light! I am a very patient person for the most part, but i am quickly becoming frustrated with the fact it is out of my control and i have to wait...

    I certainly understand you.i have tried so many times in the past only to find that my insurance has an exclusion on WLS.I recently went for an appt.I am scheduled for a EGD next week.I am praying they don't make me do a 3-6 month weight loss with a doctor.

    I'm waiting as well. My journey started back in October 2009....was supposed to have surgery May 2010 but my employer put the brakes on it due to a stipulation in coverage for WLS....I had to wait to resubmit Jan 2011. I had a follow up with my surgeon last Tuesday and I am just waiting for the call to let me know its approved and when I can set a date! I am confident it will be approved this time as I have met and exceeded every stinking requirement! Good luck :-)
