    New to forum

    I am new to the whole process. I am sooo glad I joined. There is so much helpful information. I think I will be able to take every step with more confidence knowing what paperwork and hurdles are instore for me. And even if the anser comes back a "decline" that is just for the fight, not the war or the journey. Welcome again and congrats on having a date. May I ask when you first started this process?

    Cancelling Lap band

    Very-very stressful!!! Glad it worked out!
  5. I do not know if it is required, but I have an appt with my primary doctor to state that I feel I need WLS. I am hoping to obtain a letter of support from him. I will be bringing my history and proof of payment for various weight loss attemps as well as my last years blood test results. I am going to ask for a new weight and a height (shoes off this time). I have no idea of his opionion of WLS but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try for a written recommendation. I also will have him look at my chart. I had a BMI of 38 two years ago and then I quit smoking. I now have a BMI of 42. (But my lungs are now healthy:)).

    Waiting for approval!

    Congrats!!! I have no patience....I am counting the days until my required seminar just to get the paperwork. I might actually lose some hair before surgery. I know I probably have a minimum of six month of waiting to get through the whole process-but hoping I will find a light at the end of the tunnel like you did! i have health partners, but no one on this board seems to have that so I have no clue if they are easier or more difficult. If anyone knows, please post! Thanks!

    Dyslipidermia

    I am anxious like everone one is to see the word "approval". I am in the early stages of this process and have done ALOT of reading. Ya'll have been VERY helpful. Here is my story. My health Partners covers the surgery if BMI 40+ over two years of BMI 35-39 with dyslipidemia with cholesterol LDL greater than 130. So, what is that? I have total chl of 265 but have no idea of HDL/LDL numbers. This is important because I am at BMI of 43 but 2 years ago I was 39. Any help would be wonderful. :help:
