They are sending my paper work to insurance tomorrow. I will keep you posted if you would like. Good luck!

Well my surgeons office just called me they are submitting my paper work tomorrow for approval. Boy am I getting nervous. Maybe I shouldn't read so much on here and other forums. Keeping my fingers crossed. :rolleyes

I am above now but I only have been for the last 2 years. It is Aetna Insurance thing. If you don't have Aetna you may be fine. Keep me posted. I am going in tomorrow for the last of supervised weight loss meetings. I have to do the sleep study at the end of the month because my nocturnal study showed very low oxygen during the night. I am just trying to stay positive.

I am still in the getting everything together for insurance approval stage. I am worried that my insurance will not approve. I haven't been above 40 BMI for five years. I have been above 35 but I may not have significant enough co-morbidities. I am just keeping my fingers crossed. I meet with Gina (the dietician) and Paula (physicians assistant) and agree with you about his staff. I will let you know. Thanks, Mile High

I have met with Dr. Johnell and am in process of trying to all that is required to get approval for a lap-band. Has anyone out there ever used Dr. Johnell and NCMC? If so I would like to know how your experience was. Thanks.
