Newbie! In six month diet requirement phase

[KJdallas 0]

Hi everyone. I am new to the site and wanted to check in and make some friends and be a support to others!. I am in the 2nd month of my 6 month managed diet for my insurance. I am hoping to be approved and banded by Thanksgiving.

This site looks like a woderfully supportive place... and I hope to make some friends who understand what it is like to be tired of fighting the same fight with my weight. I know that lapband is a tool and there will be lots of hard work ahead, but I CAN DO IT!

Hi! I have just started. I was told that my insurance requires a 6 month supervised diet plan before I can get the lap band. What insurance do you have? I have Aetna.

Hope you make it for Thanksgiving also.
