Went to the the required seminar yesterday, then called my insurance . Found put bcbs of Virginia does not require pre op diet or 5 yr medical history. Now I'm waiting for the insurance pre approval before I go in and speak with the nutrionist and pych. I'm so excited to start this journey

Congrats on the start of your journey. I am in my 5th month of my work required 6 mos. It will be over in March and hope to get my approval with in weeks of that...You can learn tons on here. I also suggest the book Bandwagon. I have been reading it and it is so full of info..

Well after two weeks of watching what I eat only lost 2.5 lbs. But I'm at my family doctor was yold that my blood pressure is high, ( imagine that) getting blood work and seeing what he thinks about the lap band. Wish me luck

Went to seminar almost two weeks ago. Still waiting to get a call for first consult. I hate waiting!
