I am going to have it done at St. Francis Hospital. Man this ins crap really worries me. I asked Dr. Wynn how soon would I be able to get the surgery and she said after the 12 week course with Maryellen was done. The class is located at the Apex Medical Center.

Hi Melissa O! Thank so much for the information, I was nervous when I met with Dr. Wynn so I might have misunderstood her. She said I had two choices 1. 6 month diet plan with my doctor ..or .. 2. a 12 week course with St. Frances. Maybe over that 12 week time frame I only go to 3 classes I am not sure. I picked up a cook book all about post Lap Band Meals and my Hubby and I are going to try some this weekend. I want to start eating better now so I can get in a mind frame of a life change not just a diet. Wow, they set your surgery date before the Ins approval. Did they have you make a down payment incase the Ins company declined it? I would be sweating on that one too. Oh and congrats on the up coming Wedding, I was also a November Bride.

Hello everyone! Not banded yet but met with Dr. Wynn on 5/22 and I can't wait. Did anyone else have to do the 12 week class for their Ins to approve Lap Band? If so, did your ins approve it right after the 12 week class was done? I am hoping for a easy run with my ins company. Any feed back/tips about pre op would be great.
