I am currently finishing up all the things my insurance is requiring me to do. I had to do six consecutive months of doctor visits for weight lost attempts, and Thursday well be my last one. Does anyone know how fast this process will move after that?

Mine moved really fast after that- three weeks was offered to me- I had to take 4 weeks because of work though.

Who is your insurance through- I am Tri Care

I have blue cross....I'm hoping I get my approval within a week. Is that possible?

Yes- I was approved in two days- the 3 weeks was for my surgery date.

Great I'm really looking forward to having this done. I am 5' 2 and currently weigh 275 lbs. I'm hoping to have success with the band.
