Ok, so I finally scheduled my initial consultation. I've been wanting to get banded for years but kept putting it off. Now that I have my initial appointment, I don't want to wait! My insurance requires a 6 month supervised diet in order to quality for coverage. I don't get it - if I was successful at dieting I wouldn't need the band. Anyway, was wondering if there were any specific questions that I should ask the doctor or my insurance co. I already was advised to ask if fills were covered by insurance - never would have thought to ask that!
