Did anyone have a 6 month lap band prep time that included Nutritional and Case management phone calls and internet monitoring?

I am going to start the journey to lap banding and this is the process I have to go through.

??????

thanks:huh2:

Yes, I had to fullfil the same requirements as you listed. We must have the same insurance? U.H.? I did not have "internet monitoring" though. I just finished the six months and was approved - surgery is in two weeks.

No I dont have that insurance. But Carewise is doing the monitoring for my 6 months. I had my enrollement call with the dietician for the first time today. And they will all be phone calls no internet.

I will talk to her again next week and then twice a month from here on out till 6 months.

I just hope that after 6 months something doesnt come up and they say no.

That would be crushing.

So did you have to do many things for your surgeon as well?

:thumbup:

Yes, I had many tests and medical clearances to obtain prior to being approved....cardio, sleep test, EGD, EKG...blood tests, etc, etc. Good luck to you. I am sure you won't have any issues getting approved after the 6 months.
