I just received a letter today from my insurance company authorizing my lap band!! I have a BMI of 37. My comorbities are joint pain, sleepless nights, and history of diabetes. Nothing really significant or documented. My PCP is awesome and really supported my decision. I also submitted a letter to the insurance company with my medical history stating why I felt I needed the surgery. I am so excited! I am hoping to lose 80 pounds! Hopefully i will be able to schedule my surgery soon. I can hardly wait til Monday to call their office!
