Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

I had my approval in 2 days, and Dr. Chapman is my doc too.  He is so wonderful! 

Are you a state employee?

They normally respond in 24/48 hours. I have had many returned the same day. :-) They are actually very quick!
