Hi guys, ive been actively with you since march. I just found out that I have been approved for lap band today and boy am I excited!!!! I cant believe it.

I am so thankful to God for giving me this opportunity after I thought everything was taken away (I had lost sixty pounds in college, and then gained seventy back when I got rheumatoid arthritis having a year of loss of mobility). I am in pain everyday with every step I take. I hope that losing some of this weight will improve the pain I feel on my ankles and all the other joints everyday.

My insurance company, medical mutual of Ohio is strict and boy am I blessed by god to have gotten approval on the first try

RA is a very strong, but not listed comorbidity. It is an auto immune disease.

I am happy. if anyone needs any more information about medical mutual let me know

I am with dr fegelman at the jewish weight management center in cincinnati ohio

Congratulations !!!!!!

God will work his grace with you as he has done with me. Congrats on your insurance coverage. Mine was sticky too and it was approved. I've been banded 10 days now and feel good. Good luck with your surgery.
