Most insurance companies consider high BP a co morbidity as long as it is well documented by your Dr.

From what I understand the doctor's office will use the initial weight for your insurance submission. That's what my doctor did. By the way I am from Rhome too. (Small world) Purplee33

You are totally not the only one. I had a full blown panic attack the night before my surgery. If I could have gotten a hold of my doctor I would have called the whole thing off. I am so glad I didn't, I am five weeks out and I love my band. You are going to do great and it is absolutely normal to have those last minute worries.

I was banded in Decatur on March 17th. Good luck! You will do great.
