I am so excited. I am scheduled for June 26th at 1PM :wub: I am having a hernia repair done at the same time (an incarcerated umbillical hernia) I have BC/BS of IL :confused: I have already gotten one denial from them. My doctors office has gotten together the requested info (5 years documentantion of weight, sleep study, psychologists report...just waiting on letters from my personal physicians (my old one in MI, and my new one here in CO) I do not however, have the required 6 month medically supervised diet history...sooo...I am expecting another denial. We are just going to pay the lap band portion of the surgery out of pocket (about $5500.00) instead of doing the hernia sugery now (which can't wait) then doing the 6 month diet and going through another surgery.

So...I'm almost there. I can't wait :thumbup:

Congrats! Hang in there the best is yet to come for you! Through every trial there a blessing of rainbows that follow all the struggles. Its just around the corner for the new you!

my surgery date is 6/12. I am happy, excited ,nervous and scared to death. But I know in the end it is the only way for me to be healthy again.

Good luck!!
