    I was banded on 2-14-07 and I have FBCBS and they have just paid the Dr's, I am still waiting for them to pay the hospital. They will not pre certify and yes I had to have 6 months of diet. Also had a letter from my PCP stating medical necessity. I had 3 of the 5 co-morbities. It was iffy at the least if they would pay, but I decided it was worth the chance. So I went forward and took the chance. I have lost 30 lb since I started the liquid diet on Feb 1, and no longer have acid reflux (woo-hoo) 4 pills I don't have to take now.

    :update: Hey, well I was banded on Valentines Day (feb 14). I did it with the thought they (bc/bs) would approve. Dr's insurance thinks they will pay also. Guess we will know in a couple of months. I have three of the co-morbidy requirements. one is Sever sleep apnea. I lost 18 lbs on the pre band diet. Hope I can lose that much the first month after band. I have felt really good. My port area is sore and where they repaired my reflux area. Guess they did lots of poking around there.
