I'm sorry to hear that your insurance says you’re not covered.  What kind of insurance do you have?  Appeal Appeal Appeal..

I started this journey a year ago.  I was denied by insurance in Nov of 2008.  I thought to myself it wasn't the right time.  I kind of put it on a back burner.  I started to work out in May 2009, than a friend asked me about the LapBand surgery and if I was interested, that she wanted more info.  We went to a seminar.  I schedule an appointment with the doctor, etc.  Now I'm approved and having LapBanding on Oct 6 2009.

Don't give up.  When the time is right it will happen.

Congrats on getting your date!!!!!!!!!

I'm schedule for Oct 6 2009 too.  Let's all keep in touch.

October 2nd is my date for surgery !!
Really nervous and having difficulty drinking the awful optifast .... yuck !!!

I just found out there was this date open on Wednesday during an appointment with my doc.
and I had to let them know the next morning if I was accepting the date otherwise it would be in the new year./.... Needless to say, I accepted and started the optifast on Thursday....

maybe too quick for me..
