Hello to you, I alos have BCBS of Kansas and I have just started the process of the psyc and the diatician. I have my siminar on May 12th. I was not told that I would have to have a six month diet regulated by a phy. Who do I need to cotact to find out if this is needed for me? I am so scared that I will be denied for some reason. What can I do to make sure that I will get approved. I have borderline diabetes, asthma, sleep issues, acid reflux, lower back pain, joint pain and a BMI of 47. Please help with what I need to do to get appoved though insurance. I was going to have this procedure done x 2 years ago, but the insurance decided not to cover the procedure after I was getting ready to do it. I will do anything to have this surgery... I want my life back, and I want to live not only for me, but for my son....... Many thanks in advance......

Hello one and all, I have just started the process of selecting a May 12th siminar date and selecting a doctor. I have set up my appointment with the psychologist and the dietician. I have spoke with my insurance and I sure hope everything will be fine and I will get the ok to procede with the lap band procedure. I have wonderful insurance and I believe it will pay for 90 percent of everything. I have never been to excited and scared at the same time. I want to begin a new thinner me yesterday.....LOL I am new to this web site and it has been to informative for me. I am a single mother of a 12 year old son and I must say that he is equally excited for me, and I'm sure a little scared also. I will try to keep you all informed of my progress and hope to hear from several of you soon with all the good, bad and the ups and downs of the lap band process, surgery, pre and post op and everything inbetween. Thanks for letting me ramble on and have great day:)
