Hi...well first of all the lap band was just added to my policy effective 3/01/08! So, we waited to submit until 02/28/08...it got held up a bit due to the new language but was in review last week and I was notified 3/25.....the rep told me it would have been faster but she was trying to watch it so it didn't get denied due to the new language...she said she may have slowed it down a bit...but all in all about 22 days???

Good Luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
