Well I have done a lot of research over the past 2 years and I am finally ready. I have spoken to the UNC rep about getting me started and I was advised that I will hear something back from a Case Manager in 5-7 business days. I am kind of nervous about being approved for the Lap-Band. I am 5'6 weighing 264 with a BMI of 42.6, and 100lbs overweight, but I dont have any other health conditions. I have struggled with my weight all my life, and have made many efforts to lose weight but all were short-term results. I have medical documentation by my former Physician from another companies insurance that I worked for, for weight loss but they are not cnsistant dates. I am now with another Physician. I am tired of the up and down weight. I pray that this comes through for me. Any feeback for me please let me know. I will have my before big girl pictures on here very soon. :cool2: Thank you for reading.
Well my first blog was about making my first call to UNC and waiting to hear from my Case Manager That call was made on Monday. Well I got the call today which was very quick because I was told it would take up to 7 days to hear back from them, but anyway she informed me that I would be approved once I have completed my pre-weight loss program then in 4 months I will start working with a surgeon, and start the next step. I am so excited to get this process started.:thumbdown:
