hey everyone! i have been driving myself crazy for the last couple of weeks wondering if i will be approved for the LAP-BAND®® and i was hoping i could get your guys' input. here are my stats: 5'2" 192 lbs 35 bmi 24 years old CIGNA PPO i have a family history of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cholesterol, and high blood pressure. i do not suffer of any of these myself (except obesity), but i do suffer from constant back, neck, knee, heel, pain and severe anxiety. this friday (oct 1st) i am having my pre-op test done and on the 12th i am having a sleep study. i have met with the surgeon, nutritionist, and psychologist, and have been approved by all of them. what do you think my chances are of being approved by CIGNA?
