I had to go through 6 months of diet, nutrition, ppo visits and nutrition class before my insurance would approve. The banding was very easy. Unfortunately I am not losing weight. I've dropped only 20lbs since the banding 9 months ago. The surgeon has decided I probably need gastric bypass. I'm just waiting for the office to clear it with my insurance (which has already told me yes). I'm hoping they'll call soon.
