  3. Yes indeed...you have to jump through hoops and then wait..my doctors office knew this and pre scheduled me while I was awaiting approval.It took them 3 weeks ...and I had already started the pre op diet before I got the call that I was approved. Also I think the insurances work with the hospitals in knowing how many patients they are capable of handling in a month....They make a conscious effort to delay many cutting it close...end of year procedures...Quotas...
  4. Those babies are too cute!!!! Congratulations.
  5. Go somewhere else.Having the procedure done in a hospital is just as good as your place.You are going to have surgery not lounge at a getaway spa.You don't need the drama from catty idiots.Keep your business separate.Do not in your life get a lapband.?..pure misery....
