Hope to be banded in June

[danielle b 32]

I have researched the LAP-BAND® for years....and I am now finally here. I currently have 2 insurances and I have received approval from both. My one on one consultation with Dr Mirande is on May 19th and I am hoping to be banded on June 4, 2010. I can't wait to begin this journey, it has been a long time coming!!

I'm somewhat in the same situation. I've done a lot of research on the Lap Band, and this past Tuesday, my doctor gave me the go-ahead and termed the procedure "medically necessary", which clears the path for my insurance to cover the procedure. I should be meeting with the plans weight loss counselors next week, and with any kind of luck, I want to be banded by mid June. This has been a long time coming, but I am convinced that this is the best way to go.

Congratulations on getting to this point!! Be sure to take before photos and your measurements now if you haven't already! You will definitely want them later.

All the best,

Catherine

Danielle and mace, I'm waiting impatiently for my insurance approval. I origanally thought I would have a May date but it is looking more like June. I hope to follow along with the two of you on our journey. :biggrin:

Time for Mom,

My insurance approval was in one week, second insurance less than 2 weeks. Wish you luck on getting approval soon. And yes of course we can journey together.

Also....I am totally taking pictures!!!
