Good Morning!

Hello, New here! Just wanted to see what I can find out in this forum. My name is Karen (42 ) and am waiting to get insurance approval. Currently BMI=51 Weight=298. I can hardly wait for surgery!

Hi Stump.... I am pretty new here too :)  I am waiting for insurance approval for lap band :)  good luck to you :)

HI KAREN, MY NAME IS TERRI.  I AM 47 AND MY SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR JULY 18TH.  THINGS WENT PRETTY SMOOTHLY FOR ME FOR APPROVAL.  WELCOME TO THE PROCESS.

Hi - I am newish here too.  I've been a member of the forum for a few years, but have finally decided that I must do something. I am writing in my blog daily (shamless plug next) I hope people are reading.... LOL My first step is to attend the "informational meeting" then I am going to apply for medicaid because my insurance is a named exclusion policy. Once I get approved for medicaid (and I am confident that I can do so) I will do whatever comes next! I remember thinking in my 30's that I would not be fat at 40... well 40 is only 7 months away... and so I probably will be fat in my 40's.... but if all goes well I will be fabulous by 42 or 43 :)
