Hi All,

I just found out that I have been approved by my insurance company for the lap band surgery. They are going to pay for everything except a $50.00 co-pay! I still have to have the barium swallow, EKG and some bloodwork before I can schedule a surgery date. I am looking forward to being thinner! My only obstacle now is the 2550.00 I have to pay to the surgeon for the after surgery program fee which includes the fills. I have about 100 pounds to lose whuich seems OVERWHELMING!!! I am currently living in Northern Virginia but my home is Colorado.

I know they were so nice. It took nearly two weeks to get the answer but they called and said "I am about the make your day" and then she said I was approved! I have Empire BC/BS through my husbands employer. They Rock so far! I just hate the big cash expense to the surgeon for the program fee. They need it ten days before the schedules surgery date. I just have to come up with is somehow - that is the only down side.

Congrats on your approval. I know you must be so excited! I just had to respond because I too am currently living in Virginia, but my home is Colorado. I am hoping to be moving back there sometime this year. Just thought it was a neat similarity :biggrin:

You are so lucky to get to move back! I will probably be here for a few more years! I am from Colorado Springs and currently live in Leesburg VA.

We can only move back if my husband is able to find a job there. I am so homesick! Hopefully he will find something soon. I lived in C. Springs for about 2 years. Acutally I have lived all over Colorado. I dont care where in Colorado I live, I just want to go back!

That is why we are not moving back - no job for my husband in Colorado right now! I miss the mountains and the low humidity. It is so beautiful and really nothing compares. Where are you in VA?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
