Thor ,try not to get so depressed ,that is what the insurances do in hopes you will give up and forget about it.Keep a positive attitude and stick to a diet plan. The more you eat and gain now .Just means the longer it will take you to reach your goal once you get banded.Show them you are stronger than they think.KEEP UP THE FIGHT!!!!Penny -

Thor I have BCBS through my husbands work .It took me about 7 months to be okayed.Dont give up just think what good results you will have .I almost chickened out the nightbefore my banding.All kinds of thought where racing through my mind.My husband reminded me how hard I had worked to get the ok for it.Had it done yesterday and feeling pretty good.Just keep good thoughts and do what they ask and they will have to ok your surgery.Penny -
