Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Robin and I live in Parker, Colorado. I am taking the first steps in my Lap Band journey. I have Kaiser insurance and the first step is getting a physical, blood work, and sending in a form to see if I qualify. My PCP updated my file and after my blood work comes back he is going to finish up the paper work and send it in! My BMI was 47 and with the asthma and PCOS, I hope this will be enough to qualify. I don't know how long it will be before I hear anything, hopefully not too long. I know with Kaiser from the time you qualify until the actual surgery is around a year, so I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I'm excited to get started. I am also excited to get to know everyone on this board, hear stories, etc. Is anyone else from Colorado? Also, has anyone else gone through Kaiser for their Lap Band? If so, I would love to hear about your experience.

It took me 1.5 years to fight and appeal multiple time with insurance..

But once I was appved.. my surgery was the next wk. My insurance company are Deniers in Denial---
