Hello everyone! I am new to this site, but not new to this topic...Lap Band Surgery. I went to my first meeting in October of 2008, met with my surgeon in November 2008, then basically jumped through hoops for my insurance company for much of 2009. I was given 2 dates, one in June 2009, and the next in july 2009, both were cancelled because of denials from my insurance co. I was so frustrated and depressed. My insurance was through my husband and his job, so what I decided to do was opt-in to the insurance at my job (which is no cost for yourself, amazing right?). I enrolled in Nov 09, it became effective Jan 1st 2010, my surgeons office submitted the info to my new (and wonderful!) insurance co and I was approved for surgery 3 days later! So now my Surgery is scheduled for February 18th! WooHoo!! I am very excited but also very nervous. So I am hoping the support and information here will ease my mind a bit. Anyone scheduled for surgery the same day as I am?
