This is the way to listen! I am a newbie to this whole process and I am ready to listen to the individuals who have gone thru the process. Whether it be 10 days ago to 10 years ago. I feel the best place to get advice, the truth, the bad and ugly are from the bandsters living with the band. No story will be to short, so please let me have it.. Tell me everything. Where I am in the process: I attended a seminar (with a surgeon) I have Humana Waiting on Humana to call back to let me know about eligibility requirements (if you have questions that I should ask, please let me know) That's it. I will be waiting to hear from all of you experienced super stars!! Thank you!

Honestly, I want to know everything! Where I am right now. I attended a Bariatric Seminar in Sept 2008 and decided against the surgery. I started thinking about it again in January and decided in February 2009, that I wanted to go ahead with it. I have called my insurance Humana PPO and weight loss surgery is covered 1 time. I am waiting for the insurance company to call me back to explain what I need to do to go ahead with the surgery. I know that I will have to have 6 months of documented weight plan with my primary care physician. That's all I know.... So anything and everything that you can clue me in on would be wonderful and very helpful. Thank you
