  1. Dr. Matthew Mancini - Dr. Mancini & The Tennessee WLS Center

    rnstudent replied to kpdgal's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
    I have an appointment on 11/2/11 with Dr. Mancini, or i suppose my first visit is with the PA i was told on the phone. I am very excited, the receptionist told my my insurnce (bcbs IL) covered the procedure, so if all goes well hopefully i will have Dr. Mancini doing my lapband. I just really wanted to talk to former pts of his.

I have bcbs IL, which i do know they cover this surgery. what does anyone think, oh yea, my BMI is 35..
