the insurance lady at my surgeon's office said I should know by the end of next week if my insurance will approve and pay for the Lap Band.

Keep your fingers crossed for me please. I can't afford to pay cash for this at all and the insurance will pay for it 100% if they approve me.

Good luck!

spoiltmom, I have you in my prayers, that the insurance will approve you for the lap band.

Thursday, I had my last pre surgeon testing done, Tuesday

I will be call my Dr to see when he will be submitting the

infor to the insurance I hope that mine will be approve also.

My BIM is 35.

I hope you both get approved . Im still waiting and its very scary!!

I hope we all get approved!! The waiting is so, so stressful to me but I'm hoping and praying for approval for us all.

spoiltmom, I'm right there with you.

If I'm not approve there no way I can afford it myself.

I prey each day to be blessed. Spoiltmom, What is your BMI.

Becca29, Yes it is scary, I see your infro was submitted on 6-17-10

My BMI is 37.5 but my insurance will cover it at a BMI of 35 with one co morbidity. I have hypertension and sleep apnea so we're hoping I'll be covered with no problem.

My Dr.s office officially did not submit it until June 28th. Which I just found out about last friday. So who knows how long I will be waiting. I have BCBS FEderal. They are supposed to be quick from what i hear ....just saying a prayer! Hope you all hear something soon
