I am so excited about lap band, I'm not approved yet, I have my seminar march 18th. About how long after that do you find out if insurance is approved? I am so happy, I really hope that I can get this done!!:laugh:

It depends on your insurance! Welcome and good luck!

Hi and welcome!!! I was banded on 02/19/09. I started my journey in May of 08. My insurance required me to see my family doctor for 7 months in a row. I had to follow a diet and prove that I wasn't able to lose the weight on my own. I had to weigh once a month for 7 months. I also had to take a physical therapy class and a class on how to eat. After my 7 months was up I went to see my lap band doctor they turned in the paper work and I was approved by my company in less than a week.
