I am also a nurse,,ER. I think the band in our view point is relatively safe proceedure and most of know the surgeons. I would like to know how nurses do as far as changing eating habits. Shoveling food down in a 30 minute break can be tough with the band,,,any one have troubles wth this?

Nally I have submitted to my insurance. I am waiting for a response. I have a BMI of 35.9 and I dont have co morbitities. I have asthma,high cholesterol , MVP, a family history of heart disease. I dont have diabetes hypertension and such. I am 70lbs overwight and would love to see myself approved before I have those comorbitites. I findd it interesting that insurance co. want co morbitities ...why not pre co morbitites. Isnt it easier and cheeper to care for someone with just weight loss and not the co morbitities. Anyway...we shall see...I am not sure what I will do if they refuse. Good luck to all ...Healthy 2011
