How exciting. Were you in AND out today. That's what I want to do when it's my turn. I'd like to not stay in the hospital. I'll look forward to watching your journey. Best of luck.

I'm in but after 6:30. I get home at 5:30 and by the time I make dinner and eat it's 6:30 but hey I need to be accountable. I haven't been banded yet but I feel so flippin miserable I will take the challenge. I think I've gained 10 lbs just from the stress of trying to get this done...

That's a good idea to get a name at the insurance co. The times I've called they are very helpful and knowledgable. It's been such an easy process I am waiting for the other foot to fall. Thanks for the response. Are you in Iowa? I was born there.

I have Blue Cross CA (live in Orange County). I talked to them and they said as long as I have a referral it's no problem. My PMD told me it would be 6 months but the dietician said it wasn't necessary and it's up to her and the medical director. She said I should have the referral for the surgeon on 2/14. I hope she's right.
