lane77 1 Posted March 10, 2009 Hi and welcome!!! I was banded on 02/19/09. I started my journey in May of 08. My insurance required me to see my family doctor for 7 months in a row. I had to follow a diet and prove that I wasn't able to lose the weight on my own. I had to weigh once a month for 7 months. I also had to take a physical therapy class and a class on how to eat. After my 7 months was up I went to see my lap band doctor they turned in the paper work and I was approved by my company in less than a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
