Hi Kim! Welcome. I am in the beginning stages as well. Just completed my 6 month supervised diet and am now waiting for insurance approval. I know it can be daunting but the months will fly by! We can do this. All the best on your journey.

Congrats!! I am BCBS as well and am awaiting approval. My dietician said it should be about 2 weeks.

Hi all, I am new to the world of lap band and am looking for some support. I've been lurking here for about a year and have learned so much about the band from reading your experiences. I am 22, from MN. I started this process 6 months ago... My insurance required a 6 month medically supervised diet. Ive lost 30 lbs since then and I have my final nutritionist appointment on the 27th. I am so ready to submit, meet with my surgeon and get my surgery date. It's been a long road but now that it's becoming *real* I am a complete nervous wreck (excited too).

Thank you so much for the welcome, ladies!
