I am so excited! I just found out that CIGNA approved my surgery. The Obestiy Law and Advocacy Center (Walter and Kellie Lindstrom) were WONDERFUL!

I have now started my practice diet and exercise routine. I have my required post-op appointments set-up. So, once those are completed, I will be on my way to scheduling a date. Hopefully it will be in early September, if not sooner.

I have strugggled with my weight all of my life and it feels so good to know that the struggle has just gotten easier. I know it will always be a struggle, but the Lap-Band is such a great life tool that will make the journey seem so much easier.

To all of those who have come before me....thank you for giving me the courage to continue to try.

That is fantastic news! Congratulations to you!!

Cras253, good for you! How exciting. You will love being banded. Good luck.

Great news you have to fight for what you want. I did the same they said my BMI was too low and my hypertension wasnt severe enough. I fought back and got banded 6 weeks ago and have lost 18.5 pounds! Life is good.
