so, I've met all the criteria that the barbaric surgeon gave me to qualify for lap band. I have a BMI of 37.5, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. I also had a family history of obesity, heart disease and diabetes. the only requirement I have not met is having 3 years of weigh ins with a primary care physician.
I am worried that for this reason, emblem will deny me, but I can't find anywhere on emblems website that states that this is an actual requirement..?
has anyone encountered this problem with emblem? will this cause me a problem? is 3 years of weigh ins an actual requirement?

hey,
I was just banded yesterday. feeling sore and excited today, as well as hungry. I'm 95% sure my doctor had said I can restart my optimist drink today, but not positive.
anyone remember if they were allowed? I know the obvious, no solid foods.
thanks in advance for any help!
