My insurance company is reviewing my appeal to have my lap band removed, and they say I should have an answer this Friday. Apparently the review board will meet on Wednesday then their findings will be sent over to my employer benefits department since I have a self insured plan. The answer should be in by the end of Friday and you better believe that I'll be calling the insurance company all afternoon on Friday to get my answer!

Will do. I was very tempted to call today for an update. The review board met today but my employer will still need to review my file, so I'm waiting until Friday.

Ugh - I hate waiting for people to push paperwork and get back to me. Especially when you know they've made the decision and they're just not ready to tell you yet!!
Fingers crossed.

So I just spoke with the insurance company. Apparently many members of the review board were sick so they cancelled the review meeting yesterday. I was reminded that they have 60 days to review my case and told to call back next week. Ugh!

Oh no! That stinks. I want a lap band to DS revision too. So far, I've been fighting my insurance company for 8 months because my BMI is less than 50 & I don't have any comorbidities - yet. My heart goes out to you.
