I myself am a mom and in the "pre-surgery" phase. My insurance has said I'm covered but I am still waiting for my doctors office to just get it together and submit the referral request. It has been over a week and insurance says its suppose to only take about 3 days. My emotions are in one gear right now - impatient lol. I think once my doctors staff starts the process then I'll slowly start going into the excitment phase. Congrats to you on your lap band journey and hope all goes well.

Exactly....getting Impatent!! I got a call from my surgeon and was told my insurance was sent my request and to call in a few days to check status!! I'm excited and nervous!! Crossing my fingers for an APPROVAL!!! in the mean time, Protein shakes aren't to bad! Good luck to you too!
