Hi walker933, I also have Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois and they are great, they are covering the whole thing. That is after I met their qualifications. They asked to provide 6 months of monitored weight (Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers or your Nutritionist). I do however think it varies from state to state. I had a friend who had Kaiser Permanente and she had to go to classes for 1 year and not miss any in order for her to qualify. Good Luck! :tongue_smilie: Divis

Hello, I came across this site on google and was hoping to find other people who have had experience with lap-band surgery. I'm still in my beginning stages of the process and have a lot to learn. I'm starting to adjust both my eating habits and physical activity so that life after surgery will not be a total shock. But it seems to be a slow process to adjust all the bad habits I became accustomed to in my life time. I am ashamed to say I let myself get to 270 lbs. and I would like to rectify the problem before I cause myself some serious health problems. Any and all advise for a newbie is welcomed! Thanks, Divis
