  1. Hello. I am also in the "pre lapband" phase. I still have several appts to go to and then the final YES OR NO from my insurance. I have a BMI of 42 and sleep apnea(undiagnosed.) I have a sleep study coming up so I have documentation of it. I hope that this happens. I am 33, a nurse, mom of 2 girls and have struggled with my weight since childhood. It is great to see that others are on the same journey. My highest weight currently is 291...!!!
  2. Hello. I am in the preliminary phase of "PRE LAP BAND" I have my meeting with the surgeon this month then a lengthy and in depth psych evaluation (approximately 3 hours long) I have had issues with bulimia over the years in which I have sought counseling for and am still currently in counseling but my bulimia is resolved. Is this something I should LEAVE OUT on my questionaire?? Could this affect me getting approved? Any one know??
  3. HELLO. All you have to do is call your insurance company and ask if they cover it....they will tell you. I am still in the "research stages" of this also. Good luck!
