All my paperwork was submitted for approval today. I am a nervouse wreck I may not hear anything until real close to my August 15th surgrey date. I have jumped through every hoop that insurance has required. I had to do the 6 month weight management, maintain a BMI of 40+ and have 2 years worth of weight records through a Dr. Although I have done it all the thought of denial weighs heavy in the back of my mind. Does anyone else have ODS or had to do the 6 month weight management? I have waited 9 long months for this and to have come this far and be denied would be devastating. I'm usually a very positive person and I am truly trying hard to just let my mind rest but it's so hard. Anyone have any advice, input, similar experience?? Help!! I'm making myself crazy!!

August 15th for me!! I'm so happy I could do cartwheels!!!!

I have to agree with Gonnabeslim1day! I started the process in December and just found out today that I had to do the 6 month supervised dietician before my insurance will give the full OK. Although I was a bit let down because I am ready now, I think it will just help better prepare me for life with the Lapband after all is said and done. I too have reservations about going all the way through the 6 months and then being denied but my clinic assured me after talking with my insurance that I wouldn't have any problems as long as I maintained the weight I'm at now. I am waiting for the scheduling gal to call and set up my first appointment. I am so ready to start this journey!! 6 months will fly by. Good luck to everyone!!! It's definitely a process but one that I have faith and confidence will be worth the wait!
