:w00t:I have Cigna and got approved in record time. My doctor sent my paperwork in on Wednesday, May 12th and I just called the insurance company on a whim just to see if they got everything and the gentleman told me yes and that I was approved. Today is Monday, May 17th. WOW, WOW, WOW!:thumbup::w00t:

Yes, I did. I appreciate the opportunity to do so. I have been reading your's and Sandi's blog and it has been so helpful :cursing:. Especially how to prepare and what to buy. I had no clue and was going to wing it actually. Meaning wait until my doctor tells me what to do, but my friend who has been through it says that the doctor doesn't tell you a lot of things. So your forum is extremely helpful to me. The seminar was great. It confirmed my decision to have the surgery. There were no surprises and actually I had done so much research in advance of the seminar that I knew just about all of what he said. I did get to see him in person and witness the famed (here in Memphis anyway) no-nonsense attitude that he has been said to have. He kind of has a personality like mine. "Either you are going to do it or you are not" attitude." Right now I'm getting all my paperwork together so that when he submits everything to my insurance company there will be no questions. I'm so excited and yet scared of the unknown. I haven't been near a 14 in 19 years. Thanks again. :thumbup:

You are welcome Momto4kids. Gloria, I just went to your blog and WOW!! I am speechless. There is such a wealth of information on there, I don't know where to start. I just went to my first WLS seminar last evening and have made an appointment to start my journey. I hope that I will be able to peruse your blog and learn. Thank you for paying it forward. pam

Hey Momto4kids, I'm not sure what part of Florida you are in, but there is a wonderful lady in Pensecola who has a blog and you can contact her via email and ask about her doctor. Here is her blog address: Once Upon A Time...In the Land of cheese and Sunkist Maybe she can point you in the right direction. BTW, I'm new here and also strongly considering the Lap-Band surgery. I'm a recent breast cancer survivor.
