Hi, jmar! I've recently made my decision to get banded also! My sx is July 7th, and my bcbs is not covering one penny of my sx here in TX...but only because my carrier omitted the coverage in it's policy. We have sent our second appeal...but i'm not holding my breath. It's been a huge decision to come up with the cash to cover it...but with the wonderful support of my hubby we are making it happen. I also have various medical conditions that make me nervous...but my doc is very upbeat about my success and eased my pre op fears. I am 5'7" and currently weigh 250...my highest was 267. I would love to lose 100 pounds, but have set my goal weight at 170. I can't wait to watch your progress and report mine. Good luck and Congrats!!! ~drylandmurmaid
