Hello everyone! My name is Jerilyn and I am hopefully on my way to getting banded. My first appointment with the surgeon was yesterday 5/11/10. I have my psych eval tomorrow 5/13/10. According to the surgeon's office my paperwork should be sent to my insurance next Monday. I have BCBS Fed and have been told that it shouldn't be a problem getting my surgery approved since my BMI is over 40. Only time will tell and let me tell ya, time is going slow! I have my heart so set on this and will be crushed if I am denied. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and look forward to sharing my own journey if all goes well. I will post updates as soon as I have them! Keep your fingers crossed :)
