| newbie in KCMO
I have been looking at this website for about a month and decide to join. I don't have my Surgery scheduled yet, but I go to the seminar on January 9th. I didn't think I was going to be able to have the surgery because DH insurance wouldn't cover it what so ever. But I started a new job and my new insurance will cover it as long as I meet certain requirement. I found out what they were and the insurance company says it generally take 10-30days to get approved. I am excited but yet very nervous.

City: Aztec State: New Mexico | WOW How lucky for you! I hope you gt your insurance coverage without any problems. It will eventually come to light that they would save money, rather than let us develop more medical issues from the obesity. But they are slow learners I guess!!!
Welcome to LBT!! I am not in your area, but wanted to welcome you to the site. If you have any questions, use the search tab, if you think it is something others may have covered, or just ask---we are a pretty easy going bunch, and all of us were in your shoes at one time!
And good luck with the new job as well!!!

Hi Susan-
I too am from KC. Good Luck with your approval process. PM me if you want any info on who I went to etc. Making the decision to be banded was the hardest part for me :) Hope everything goes very smoothly with your insurance/physician choices etc. Good Luck!

State: Wisconsin | i'm new to LBT too! i have my first seminar on 12/11/06. my new insurance doesn't start up till 1/1/07, so i am trying to go to the seminar and follow up meeting before then-i know they want to take time for us to think about our decision to go ahead with this, but DUH---how long have we researched it before even calling them! i get frustrated thinking about having to wait for months to start my new journey, but i hear a lot about this 'patience' thing! good luck with your seminar meeting!
