6 month wait turned into 1 year wait
Well I've been going through the process to get my lapband as of jan....but still waiting, because my insurance...blue cross blue shield, they need a 5 year weight history and because i'm missing the first year, i have to wait till jan to get my surgery, and thats not even to get my surgery thats to have the surgeon know ok its time to send in the paperwork its been 5 years of weight history....and then i don't know how long it takes for them to approve the surgery, but i hope its soon, i've already waited so long and been through so much, and now i also have a hernia that i'm going to have taken care of at the same time as my lapband, luckily the surgeon said he can do them at the same time, then i don't have to go in for 2 separate surgeries....uggg....I'm just getting really excited about getting started, but also irritated that my insurance is making me jump through all these hoops to get approved.....I've been over 200 pounds since i was in 5th grade, i'm currently 363, but yet cause i did not have that 1 year of weight history because it was when i did not have medical insurance i have to wait....its such a pain.....
