Bcbs Of Minnesota - Lap Band

Wait. I would not go for your appointments yet. If your BMI is not 40, You will need two comobidities and above 35 BMI and they are particular ones. Call your insurance company and ask them which ones that they accept. Then, perhaps after Thanksgiving and Christmas, you will have your BMI at 40 and you will not need to be concerned with the comobidities. It will be alot easier that way to. Make sure that your heighth is CORRECT because you may be shorter and then you calculated and this can help bring up your BMI> -

loretta\ Baconton Georgia commented on jennifer1's blog entry in jennifer1's Blog
U have to find the positive in this. How much have you lost since you got your band and how much do you think you would have lost without it.>> -
I wish that all my medical providers would just get all my stuff turned in. I am ready to get this turned into BCSSI and see what they say.. I will truely be heart broken if they say no. I guess I am inpatient but this has been a long time coming and I am ready to be happy with my self again. To love and be loved, you have to love your self.

Approval After Lap Band Surgery??
loretta\ Baconton Georgia replied to stuntmonkey's topic in Insurance & Financing
YOu only have one comobidity? I would be concerned. With BCBSI and most others, you need two. Call and ask for a copy of their policy to make sure that you qualify. I would hate for you to get stuck with a fat bill. -
Waiting to hear if BCBSI is approvng me or not is nerve racking. Ihave a 35 BMI, did th e6 months weight loss, psych eval have 3 comobidities. what do yall think.

Who Knows And What Do You Tell People After Lap Band Surgery...
loretta\ Baconton Georgia replied to sunshine_x's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I want to have a good support system so I have told some people that I am waiting for insurance approval and because my bmi is only 35. and I am not 200 pounds over weight, they have been saying I didnot need it. well, ,now I am not tellin any one else until the day after my surgery because this is a personal decision and no one is going to stop me. my husband supports me and that is all that counts. -

The Band is Coming Off!!!
loretta\ Baconton Georgia replied to thall04's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They can not go in and fix it for you? It is alot of time and energy to get it and I read that once it is off, you go back to your normal shape and size. -

Seeking some info about Lap Band.
loretta\ Baconton Georgia replied to Neeta's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I went yesterday for my first surgeon visit, she di dnot even want to talk to me to begin with because mine was 34.0 so you are going to have a hard time. Do you have insurance or self pay> Self pay CAN have it done if BMI is 30. Insurance does not approve until 35. -
