Just getting started... I think

I am 30 years old ang weigh 350 lbs, my weight has always been an issue for me. I have tried Weight watchers several times and other trendy diets, that only start out successful. I plan to get the lap band but I am only at the very start of the process. The University of Iowa hospital has recieved my application and confirmed w/my insurance company (Blue cross blue sheild of IL), at this point I am waiting for them to call me for an appointment for an evaluavtion.   One wuestion that I do have after reading through various comments and blogs is.. what does it mean to get filled?   Is there a certain amount of weight that you are required to loose before they follow through with the surgery?   Any other comments or advice for my?   I am excited but, feel like I may have a long journey just to get to the starting point of all of this.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of IL- recent experiences?

I am going in for my evaluation for Lap band on 1/14/10, I have BCBSof IL, they (University of Iowa Hospital) have informed me that I will be required to go on a 3 month diet per insurance and the Dr. will want to see weight loss as well. Has anyone recently had experience w/BCBS of IL, most what I have found is negative feedbanck about how difficult but, that was also posts from 2007 and 2008. Any one with any words or views for me is greatly appreciated! I know the hospital has already contacted my insurance company and it is covered but reading the policy is so confusing to figure out exactly what they are looking for.
