Deb, Did BC make you do six-months of dieting? They let me do WW on-line. I submitted copies of my records. I'm in Arlington, VA and have BC as well. I finally got approved and am scheduled for surgery next Thursday. Good luck to you! Judy

Good luck Maggieas! When do you start the pre-op liquid?

Wow Big08, they had you start the slim-fast early. I'm glad I only have to do a week of it. I'm dreading it. Not drinking it but not eating food. Guess it's just the first step of controlling my intake!

I'm getting banded in Arlington, VA on January 22! I'm starting the Slim-Fast Thursday. Woo hooo!!! Judy

I have BC/BS Carefirst and was told by the doctor I consulted with that they are requiring a six-month supervised UNSUCCESSFUL weight loss attempt. The six months must be consecutive and they will also consider a six-month COMMERCIAL supervised attempt. My problems are: 1) I can LOSE weight, that isn't the problem. I can't keep it off is the problem. 2) I don't have the funds to support a six-month supervised diet program and insurance doesn't cover it. 3) Even if I had the money, if the goal is to FAIL, what am I supposed to do??? PRETEND to be trying to lose weight? The whole thing is so incredibly stupid.
