Dr. Watkins, How many bands have you done? Colleen -
I have bcbs il hmo so my referral is being reviewed by the director. I'm hoping all the t's and I's are crossed. I had to do 12 months surervised diet before they would approve anything, just finished that on Dec 12th. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I haven't gotten the surgery yet. From what I read on here, You must not miss any appts. thats very important to keep everything documented. Then towards getting at the end of your six months go to your gp and get your referral for your labs and such. -
