Hello! Good luck on the approval. I was wondering, I also have BCBS and did you get a referal from your PCP for the nutritionist and psych eval? I dont know where to go first... surgeon regular dr? How did u go about it?

Hello everyone!! FYI I have BS of California Shield Spectrum PPO plan 750, I called them today and they told me that they just started covering the Lap Band March 29th. I am so excited! They also said that a Dr needs to say its Medicaly necessary. (hello of course they will!) Then u need to meet with a nutritionist and have a psych eval. No 6 month supervised diet. Thank god! So just wanted to let everyone know! Wish me luck hopefully everything will go smooth from here on out!

Good Job!!!! Its very enjoyable to read your progress it gives me hope!! I'm not banded yet but trying to begin the whole process. Thanks!!!

Wow looks so painfull!!!! But your looking good! I cant wait for the updates to see how you are healing. Take care!
