hi all.i was told my insurance bcbs of michigan had benifits for me,i have been on a yo6 month diet they said i had to do,nxt month be 4 months,i waqs wondering should i go to the lap band dr then and see what i should do before the end of the 6 months?i went to the seminor already,then i was thinking i could see the nutrinst before and the psycho av,ahead,then when the 6 months comes do the tests?do u do the tests before they send tyour stuff into the insurance company?any help id thank you,:redface:

im same 6 month diet lmk to im at 3 months then they tell me come see the dr

hi,yeah i think cuz i hadnt been on a dr from dr is why,i think ill be approved because they sAID I HAVE BENIFITS BUT I HAD TO DO 6 MOnth,diet from dri live in louisana tho and have bcbs michigan ,general motors,im bmi is 48,so ill do the 6 and hopefully then be approved i wouldnt think theyd make me do all that just to turn me down,thanks

hi mine that to.i have to go on a diet for 6 months,then turn in everything to see if theyll approve which im sure they will,cant wait till sept,have to weigh in each month have dr record it plus shell turn in my records,im sure hoping,i know the lap band people said i do have benifits,i have bc mich,but live louisana,use to live mich tho.thanks janet

i have a question,i called the lap band drs office today they told me i need to go on a 6 month diet from my diet,then get bk with them thats whata bcbs michigan said i have benifiets.so i really dont need to start anything with the lap band dr till i do the 6 month diet right?i cant really have any tests done 6 months ahead,so do u think i should see the lap band dr closer to the time im thru with the 6 month diet/how much should u lose?

hi i was wondering if anyone knows if i must be on a diet from mt dr before im approved for lapband,and how long?someone told me 3 months and another paper told me 12 months,if its 12 months ill be so bummed.means awhole yr from now?plz lmk if anyone knows,waited to hear bk from a seminar i went to and they told mwe theyd find out,seems like so mAny things to do to finally get a approved,not even sure they do but my bmi is higher than most,and ive had knee replacement on both knees,just hope ill get approved i couldnt pay for it,depressed in louisana,my hubby works gm here.thanks:mad:
