reelkookie 0 Posted August 12, 2011 I myself am a mom and in the "pre-surgery" phase. My insurance has said I'm covered but I am still waiting for my doctors office to just get it together and submit the referral request. It has been over a week and insurance says its suppose to only take about 3 days. My emotions are in one gear right now - impatient lol. I think once my doctors staff starts the process then I'll slowly start going into the excitment phase. Congrats to you on your lap band journey and hope all goes well.
