There is Hope!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know my story, since It can give all of you hope! I was denied by GHI cbp, told that the LapBand was still "investigational", BUT before I was even officially "denied", I was told that ( by my surgeons insurance coordinator) that NO MATTER what, They ( GHI) Will still REQUIRE a 6 month physician supervised diet. So my hopes...crushed....I fought and appealed, needless to say, I WON!!! Noone ever asked for any other information, nor the REQUIRED 6 month physician supervised diet, that I was told would be needed, no matter what. I won I Won!! Couldn't of fought so well without the help of many of you on here! SO thank you!! Date....January 12th!! Don't Give Up...Fight! Fight!! Fight!!! Best of Luck, Laryssa

Laryssa, Congratulations on your approval. I agree with you on FIGHT, FIGHT AND KEEP ON FIGTHING for what you believe in and want in this world. Donna

Congratulations! Best wishes for a gifted surgeon, great drugs, no complications, and a honeymoon period that never ends! Hugs, Roberta
