  1. Well my paperwork was accepted and the nurse said that my stuff looks good and anticipates me being approved. I go down to Cheyenne for all of my testing in 2 days, I'll get it all done on May 11th and 12th. Yeah.

  2. I have BCBS of Wyoming and I'm desparately hoping that I get approved. I have sleep apnea, my feet are always killing me and heart disease runs in my family and with sleep apnea that alone puts me at a 40% higher risk of getting heart disease. I'm really hoping and praying that I get approved. I've filled out all my paperwork. For those that have had the Lap Band and lost a good portion of weight. Is the excess skin just as much an issue for banders as opposed to gastric bypass patients? I'm nervous and excited and I just want to be healthier and lose the sleep apnea.Any info I can receive would be so appreciated.Renee

    Waiting for Approval for LapBand

    Hi ReAnnah, nice to meet someone from Wyoming. I sent all my stuff to them and still haven't heard. I'll be going to the one in Cheyenne, they say going to Casper takes longer for booking the operating room (go figure). Are you going through Cheyenne Regional Medical Center? Did you know they can send you the seminar on CD, so you don't have to spend the gas money to get to Casper, unless you actually live close enough. I'm to the point of calling them to see if they received my materials. It's been almost 3 weeks since I sent it and I still haven't heard anything. I even collected my own medical records. So good luck, it'll be cool to keep in touch with you.Renee

    Yeah, I can also flop around with the hose and I do okay. I just really have to force myself to use it. My husband would rather me wear it so I don't keep him awake, lol. I am impatiently waiting for a reply from this center and I know it's not always going to be an easy journey but I hope we can both be rid of our CPAP's at least half way through our journey.

    I love scrappin' and am in the process of having my information reviewed for my lap band surgery. Nervous that I may not get approved but very hopeful.

    Waiting for Approval for LapBand

    My dh is pretty good about the cpap, however, I feel like a freak. I joke and say I look a scuba diver. I hide my head under my covers, and some times I just can't use it. I hope we are the lucky ones who can get rid of the cpap after losing weight. I hope I get approved, if not I look into financing it by another means. Hopefully I won't be too far behind you.

    Waiting for Approval for LapBand

    Thanks Rangegirl for the support. Yeah I am at that point of being worried sick that I won't get approved. I just know I need it to extend my life. I hate this sleep apnea and I hate using that machine. I don't want heart disease and I've tried everything I could. Your date is close. I hope when you feel up to it, if you don't mind we could keep in touch. I don't know how long it will take to get rejected or approved. I wish you thee best of luck and much success. Thanks for responding.Renee
