Hello everyone,

I'm new to the site. I went to a gastric band info session and I'm not decided, but quite interested. I have about 100 lbs to take off, but I'd be thrilled with 60 lbs! I spoke with my insurance company and they said they do cover the surgery on a case by case basis. They wouldn't give me anymore information on what I need to do, unless I request it in writing. Can others tell me what they needed to do to have insurance cover the procedure? Also, how long before they got their preauthorization and surgery?

Thanks and Congrats to all who have had the surgery!
