All insurance companies are different on their requirements. Mine (Aetna) required the 6mth supervised diet,psych eval& nutritional class. Your insurance company should be able to tell you up front what's required. Also my bariatric center took all my insurance info and gave me a list of everything required of me at my very first visit.

I think almost every person on here has had that same nervous feeling. It's a big step and one not to take lightly. I recommend you research & learn everything you can about LBS.Knowledge is power!!

I Need Some Fellow Bandsters Opinions!
Maddysgram replied to KassieRose's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
WOW, 20yo, down 75lbs I'm proud of you for your concern about sugar!!! Keep up the great job your doing! I think converting sugar grs to tsps is 3.94 gr = 1tsp. So Slimfast has over 5 tsps of sugar, geesh! -
I post in the wrong thread all the time, no biggy. Welcome! Yes, there is a lot of support, knowledge & inspiration here and you're welcome to all of it. There's a saying here, there are no dumb questions, so if you need an answer just ask. I encourage you to learn all that you can about LB before surgery. It's NOT just get it and it starts working. You have to work it. Good luck on your WL journey!

Get back up on the band wagon. You made a mistake. You owned it. You learn from it. It's time to move on. For future reference I have a neat app on my phone that list 100's of restaurants and their menus & nutritional values, or you can go online and scout a menu. No what they have before you go. Good luck! I believe in you!

Maddysgram replied to goingfoit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My paperwork on a full liquid diet consist of: SF yogurt, strained cottage cheese, cream of wheat,grits,malt o meal (whatever the hell that is) vegetable & fruit juice diluted 50/50 with water, liquid protein supplements. At this point begin up to 1 protein supplements per day. -
I started smoking when I was 14yo. I quit when it went from .55 TO .75 a pack. I refused to pay .75 a pack. What people are paying now to kill themselves with a slow death, they could have bought a house.J/S

Momma said, "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". Regarding weed, I grew up in the 70's, weed, THC,LSD, mushrooms,coke, I did and tried it all. Why would you want to get a band just to smoke weed and get the munchies? J/S

Every insurance co. has different requirements. I have Aetna which required 6mth supervised diet with pcp, psych eval, nutritional consult. Took 1wk to get approval after papers filled with ins. I could have had surgery Oct 1, but had a commitment to my granddaughter. So it will be 7 mths for me, which I really am happy with. Gave me time to wrap my head around what is required to have success with the LB.
