I'llsucceed 1 Posted February 22, 2005 Has anyone had success with them approving the lapband? And if so how long did you wait to hear from them? Did you call them to push it along or was it smooth sailing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lapbander081004 7 Posted February 23, 2005 Once I had all my paperwwork into the office it took less then two weeks to get the approval. Was banded two weeks later. but I have BC/BS traditional and I don't know if that makes a difference. But its my understanding that BC/BS of Michigan is approaving this surgery almost across the board. Good luck I know personally you been struggling in this process.
