Hi Katie, sorry it's been so long! Haven't been on for quite awhile...meant to answer much sooner than this. So how is the solid food going? Still hungry waiting for your 1st fill next week? Congrats on your 27lb loss...that is so awesome. Haven't gone to anymore support groups...still a little difficult to drive all that way (still in a splint). I heard from Verizon...they decided to keep benefit the same...min. of 40 BMI so I still don't qualify. VZ advocate told me to go ahead and file a grievance against Anthem due to the fact that Anthem gave me incorrect information and if they still deny, then I should appeal it. I'll write that up this weekend and send it to Jayne who will then send it to "LapBand Reimbursement." Their lawyer will get involved and file it since they were given incorrect info also. Jayne calls it "LapBand Reimbursement" so I think they also verify that the patient is eligible and then reimburse SWLS when they put the LapBand in for that patient. Priscilla
