  1. Hello, I am new to this website and am in the beginning of my lap band journey. But I am wondering does anyone else have Advantage Health Solutions? I have a long history with my PCP of failed weight loss attempts but Advantage requires a 6 month medically supervised weight loss attempt prior to being approved for surgery. I am fine with that and more than willing to follow my doctors medical weight loss program but I am concerned that if I do lose some weight during that time, I will be denied surgery. Also is it ever possible to have the 6 months shortened, or waived? I meet with my PCP next week to discuss this but any suggestions, help or advice is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
