I have blue cross/blue sheild and I first got denied but once they seen I met all the requirements I was approved within 2 weeks after they recieved all the requirements...I must say I felt very blessed to have our insurance company to approve it....Most insurnace companies I have heard are approving the surgery..Good Luck I hope you get approved!!!!

Thank you very much!!! I am going to need all the support I can get..There are no support groups up in my area so I am using this website for support!!! :confused:

Hey everyone I am new to this site but I am very excited about getting the lap band done...I got banded on June 28,2010 I went to my after surgery appt and had lost 22 pounds already...I won't lie the first week waas hard for me but I know that I am on the road to a new and healtier person....I have struggled with my weight since 1997 and it had only got worse after my mom died in 2008 so that is why I decided to get the band done and so far it has been the best thing I have ever done for myself!!! :confused:
