Yeah! This sounds great! I also heard of crust made from cauliflower … I'll see if I can find the recipe online. A friends of mine tried it and he said it was awesome!

Hi everyone! I'm from NJ and have AmeriHeath PPO … my doc said that according to my BMI of 36 and the fact that I have been on Glucophage w/ a diagnosis of PCOS for nearly 10 years, that I am a good candidate for Lap Band. I have met w/ the nutritionalist and have 2 1/2 months to go before I meet the 3 month requirement by AmeriHealth. In that time, I am also scheduled to see the Dietitian two more times, have an upper GI, see a therapist, attend a support group meeting, and meet w/ a cardiologist … all for clearance and validation of attendance. Whew!! LOL! Soooo my question is this … after I go through all of this, can insurance deny me?? I know my BMI and medical condition just inches me over the 'what qualifies you' mark … my fear is that in the end I won't get approved by the insurance, even though the doc gave me the thumbs up. I'd love your feedback on this!!! Thanks!!!!

I love this … we're in the same boat! I, too, had to gain a little in order to qualify … but gaining a little is easy, whereas losing a lot is painfully difficult. I had my meeting w/ the doc on 6/14 and he gave me the ok … I needed to have a BMI of 35 or more … after weigh-in I successfully claimed a BMI of 36! Whew! I just started my 3 month journey towards surgery … lots to do between now and then! Best of luck to you!
