I couldn't find any info on the BLISS program. What is it? Any details you could share would be super! Many thanks.

I have Harvard Pilgrim and will likely have to self pay -- BMI 37 w/ 1 co-morbidity of sleep apnea. My question is if I have the sleeve self pay and anything goes wrong post surgery, will insurance cover any compliacations if they didn't cover the sleeve surgery in the first place?

I belong to a weight group. Our therapist has had a lot of experience with the lap band and gastric bypass. her lap band patients have not done particularly well -- always hungry, constatnt adjustments frustrated and depressed. I also just started the evaluation process for weightloss surgery. The hospital I go to is a very prestigious one in in Boston. For what it's worth, the psychiatrist said the surgeons there no longer recommend the lap band.
