Hi, I'm Mary. I just learned my paperwork will be submitted tomorrow to my insurance company for approval of the lap band procedure. Been working on it since November. I have done everything required with the exception of the dietician and the blood work.

Looking for info and support here and willing to share what I have learned if I think I might be able to contribute to a thread. Sounds like there are lots of great people here. :clap2:

Hi Mary, welcome to LBT!! And good luck with your insurance!

Hi Mary! Welcome to LBT! Good luck with your insurance and let us know when your surgery date will be.

Welcome aboard Mary. This site is a wealth of support and information. I owe my entire success to LBT. Good Luck to you!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I look forward to getting to know everyone. Guess I didn't say much about myself before. I am 58, live in Sarasota and work in the non-profit sector. We have two grown children and two grandsons and four more grandchildren by "proxy." Hubby & I own a machine shop as well.

I've been researching WLS seriously since last October - have a BMI of 41. I am 5'1" and weigh 220...arrrrg.....that's hard to say.. :phanvan But.. hopefully I won't be saying that much longer.

Cheers all and have a great day!
