Kwill_1 1 Posted February 26, 2012 Am in process of trying to get approved for the lap band. I'm 5'7 241 lbs. Bmi is 37.9 I have slightly high blood pressure and my husband is continuously waking me up cause of snoring or cause he says I'm gasping for air. I have also had 8 surgeries on my knee and severe arthritis. I went to the seminar filled out all paperwork gave them insurance info, I also called my insurance to check on requirements, and co pay info. Has anyone used bcbs of Virginia ? If so how long was ur wait before the actual surgery? I'm excited to get this started and be able to to fun things w my kids again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
