Approval!!!!!

Well, I heard from the Dr.'s office today that HNE has approved me for Lap Band surgery! Everyone said it was a longshot, that HNE was very difficult to deal with on the band but that they would more easily approve the bypass. They are now reviewing their policy so take heart Health New England members! The Dr.'s office asked if I had any problems with dates and I said I would take whatever date they could give me...the sooner the better. I'll go in in the middle of the night on Sunday if I have to!

Congratulations. Glad to hear that health plans are starting to listen!

Congratulations! Good luck on your surgery. In case you are not aware there is a Lap Band forum here. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/surgtype-forums/LapBand/posts

Congratulations!!! I was banded six weeks ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Caeli
