Good morning everyone. I am about to begin the Lap Band journey with everyone else. I have my doctors appointment tomorrow and can't sleep because I am so excited. I am on a time crunch because I have BCBS CA right now and they have told me there should be no problem with approval. My company is changing insurance companies July 1st and the company they are going to does NOT cover Lap Band. I am praying that I can be rushed thru the system and get approval before my company notifys the insurance company that we are changing. I have been on a roller coaster with my weight all my life and I feel like this is the life long answer for me so I would wish that everyone will pray that my paperwork goes thru without a hitch. I have been told by the insurance company (and read on the threads) that is will take them, at the most, 2 weeks to approve so as long as the doctors office get their stuff sent quick enough it will be a GO! :clap2:

Good luck with your weight loss journey. Just keep pushing forward with your nutritionist, blood work and psych eval. You have plenty of time. It took me about 8 weeks to get through the process. Julie
