i am new...
My name is Trish and i am a single mom of an active 11 year old boy.
I have just made the decision to try to be banded...i am 33 years old..290 lbs 5'4" and a bmi of 49 i have tried to lose weight several times even did weight watchers but never meds, i have high blood pressure
I am waiting to talk to my doc about haveing the surgery although we have talked before about it I beleive he will approve it...then obviously he will have to try to get the insurance co to approve it...which they say is case by case...but they will cover the whole thing if i fit their standards (crossing fingers)
I have a ton of questions but my first is how long after getting approved by insurance (mvp) is it until you can have the surgery?
