Hi Everyone, I have been reading some of you guys topics and decide to join to get a better view or insight on how the lapband process actually works. Mostly, I need u guys support. I have been overweight my whole entire life. And I am definitely ready for a change. My bmi is 60 and I am 5'3 @340lbs. The most I weighted ever...I just found out my husband insurance covers WLS, but there is a six months supervised diet I am required to do before approval...Im lil anxious, so I am new to this and looking for support from people who have been thru where I trying to go...Any comments or suggestions will be greatly be appreciated.....

Hi Kate, Thanks for responding...Im at the beginning stage of my journey. my insurance is with UHC thru my husband job...and its something similar to yours six month or 2 combined 3month supervised diet...im not sure if i have that. i did a weight loss program, but im not sure if it was supervised by Dr...the lady from the WLS surgery office supposed to contact me on whats my next step after they view my files, but the wait is killing me. I am going to need the support and I appreciate you for offering, bc im definitely gon needed. i havent done anything? ive been reading other ppl experiences and trying to get a feel on what i should do... What does the psych eval consist of? Its a pass or fail thing...Im sure if u wana discuss this openly or privately...Either way i opened to listen

Ur pics look wonderful!!!!

Thanks for responding...I just started with my inital consultation and I was informed that I have to do a 6mo supervised diet for my insurance company before approval...I guess im just anxious to get started. I know I shouldnt be, but I just wana know where I go from here. The lady from the doc office said she will contact me soon. Its been two weeks..Ughhh
