Hi Katie,

How are you these days? You must be on solid food now! Are you still glad you had it done? I'm getting ready to file my appeal (have to write my story) on the advice of my Verizon advocate. She said Verizon and Anthem are supposedly talking with one another as to what benefit policy to finally adopt for Lapband and bariatric surgery. She has no idea when that will final be decided so she said I should just go ahead even if I get the lawyer for Lapband involved. My Echocardiogram came back fine and on my third week with the heart monitor. I have to wear it 30 days so that will be out of the way soon too. I got my cast off and now I have to wear a splint day and night except when I do my OT exercises or to take a shower. I'm going to OT 2x/wk. I haven't lost any weight and need the surgery! Write when you get a chance. Priscilla

PS. Have you gone to a support group meeting yet?
