Hi Bandsters!

I just joinned today! I've been doing alot of research on the procedure and after struggling with it I decided last month to get the band :crying:. This is against the wishes of my mom, best friend and rest of my family. But I know whats best for me. Soooo...I've completed all my tests and evals and am now waiting for insurance approval. Anyone have any exerperience with getting approval from United Healthcare? I didn't go through a six month WL program but had alot of Dr's recommendations and paperwork so I'm hoping for the best since I have a WHOLE lot of weight to loose!

P.S. I'm exited to be here!

Stick to it girl! Don't let anyone tell you you shouldn't do this. Keep it up and good luck with all your insurance info. i had to do 3 months of diet appts. and got approved! i am now recovering from surgery 2 days out with no regrets!

:crying:

Thanks! I just regret listening in the first place and having waiting so long. But how did the surgery go? How long are you planning for recovery?
