hallelujah.girl 1 Posted February 2, 2009 I am just stopping by to introduce myself. I am very excited to have found this forum. I have not been banded yet but have begun the journey. I was just approved for surgery today after having my psychological exam. My next step is to meet with the surgeon. I have not officially heard if I have been approved for insurance but I meet I criteria, so I am hoping there will be no surprises there. I started this process 3 years ago only to find out that insurance would cover RYN but not the band. After the disappointing news I tried 1 more time really hard to lose weight and had lost 35 lbs, took me about a year, then started slowly gaining it back again. Fed up with the yo yo once more I called my insurance. Since then they have approved the band. Originally I had started the process with Dr. Malley in Kansas City, but when I started looking into it again he was 4 months out before I could even start seeing him so I did some research and decided to go with Dr. Hoehn. So far everything has been great and I am happy with that choice.:tongue: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
