babs0101 1 Posted June 26, 2007 My insurance is Health New England. I was told it would be a year before I would know if I am approved for the lap band. A year!! I have already been to most of the required doctors and specialist, have attended support groups and seminars, even the psych doc says I'm the perfect nut for this surgery! I just started this journey in May........and I'm bummed that I will have to wait a year!:think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
