Hello I am also having my surgery on the 21st! My process was not as quick as yours though... =) but it was all worth it in the end! I am really excited to start this next chapter in my life!! Good luck to you... we are part of 2008 a-MAY-zing Bandsters!!

I just wanted to share my story to give hope to all still waiting... i started my 6 months doctor's visits in october.. I have everything finished and submitted to the insurance company on 3/13... i received a letter of denial on 3/18 stating that the facility wasn't "in network" ... the doctors corrected the paperwork (they accidentally put in the wrong facility) and the paperwork was re-submitted on 3/20. I was then expecting the worst and i HATED the waiting game.. but much to my surprise just a few weeks later on 4/8 i received my letter of approval rom Cigna!! it was so much easier than i anticipated!! So to all who are waiting keep your head up and keep positive.. it can be a simple process so don't stress too much at first!! Just wait to see what happpens!

Thank you so much for your answer... I am def going to talk to my surgeon as soon as i get my surgery date... Good luck with your weight loss and TTC!! Hopefully their will be babies in our near future!!

hello All! This is my first post. I wanted to find out from all the veteran banders.. One of my main motivations is to have a child. I have PCOS and i have been told if i can just get some weight off then i should be able to concieve with no problems. How long after the band is it safe to get pregnant? Thanks so much for everybody's thoughts and answers...:thumbup:
