Sorry I did not say that I thought with my name said it all.lol but I am getting the Lap band sometime late march through insurance and usually if you are self pay you don't require anything except what the pre-op requirements through your surgeon office requires.

Take care

Yes, it is worth it, because it get you one step closer to having your surgery.

My insurance required that I complete this and I suspect they do this to see how badly you want the procedure. I had many steps I had to complete prior to having the surgery.

Good luck!

If my insurance would have paid for even half of it, I would have jumped through whatever hoops they wanted for 6 months. The time will go fast. Work on yourself, try to figure out why you overeat, keep an emotional diary. For me, emotional and compulsive eating is still a problem that I have to deal with. The band didn't help with these issues. I will be starting thearapy soon, I wish I would have done it before my band.

I started therapy around 7 months ago (still go) and I have 2 months left to complete on my supv.diet. Wow...did I learn a lot about myself and my wt. I would reccomend it for anyone with a eating disorder.
