I am with Dr. Schmitt! I'm being banded June 3rd! :-)

It says the poll is closed, so I couldn't submit my choice.

I'd be interested in coming! I'll be a little over 1.5 months out from my surgery.... I usually avoid the pool like the plague, but I think I could make an exception for this event. :-)

I'm not sure where you got this information from, but the guidelines on BCBS website still says it accepts dated photographs in lieu of medical records (if they are unavailable), if accompanied by a letter from your PCP. My surgeon's office just submitted photos with my application this week. I would go ahead and submit! If they deny, they deny, but keep fighting it! It *IS* in their policy guidelines.

My co-worker wants the lap-band, but when she checked with her insurance (BCBS of AL, Blount County Sheriff Dept), it covers WLS, but only at 50%. Do any of you have an idea of how much that might be? Or even better, does anyone else have this coverage and might have an EOB we could see?
