Hi my name is Melodie and I am new to the board and looking into getting lap band. I have BCBS Delaware. I have to attend the 6 months of nutrition classes but I just found out that come Jan 1, 2011, my insurance will either no longer cover WLS or only half. My last class is Dec 6.

So my question is, about how long after you finished your nutrition classses was your surgery date?

Hi finally someone from Delaware... if you inform your doctor about the insurance switch he probably will schedule in before Jan... Who is your doctor? Mines is Dr. Michael Peters...:grouphug:

I am seeing Dr Peters as well at Chrias. Love him. Had my consultation back at end of June and had my 1st nut class last nite. My hubby is also doing this with me and seeing Dr Peters.

That is crazy, i been trying to get a Nutrition Class since the beginning of June and i didn't get it til the 26 of this month... Ha No Fair... i was trying to get Surgery done Next month... The Doctor know this and so does Judy... i like their office, i just wish things would of went the way i like it.. i think i have to do three classes so i don't i will have my surgery done in August:frown:.. Anyway its great that you have someone to do this with... Good luck with your journey.. and make sure you inform Dr. Peters about your insurance situation, im sure you can have it done before the first of the year, just make sure you get all you appt. in before your last Nut. meeting... Good Luck!
