I have aetma and they do cover WLS. The problem now is I have sleep apenea, but it is really mild. Other than high cholesterol and history of DVTs, I have no other comorbidities. So we are going with BMI over 40. Well at my first visit, my BMI was 39.9 (I had of course been trying another diet). Today, my BMI was 40.1. My problem is around 2010, I was doing sugar busters and had lost 10-15 pounds. So when they got my medical records from my Primary Care doctor and my GYN, my BMI in 2010 is too low. They have told me they are going to submit my 2009 and 2011 weights and say they couldn't find documentation for 2010. Anyone else's doctors offices do this? My insurance advocate told me not to worry, but I am.

Mine was when my husband, 6ft 1in, ask to wear a brown belt of mine and it fit him. He had his 3rd bandirversary in Feb. Then and there I decided I needed to do something that works. I was at 244, even heavier than when I was pregnant with either of my kiddos.

Wow, that is great. I hope I have that kind of success.

I have been to my original consult and they seem to really know what they are doing. I have Aetna, so they have given me my "road map" to what needs to happen over the next 3-4 months, including Psych eval, EKG, blood work, Nurtionist, etc... Has anyone else been through this with True Results in Dallas and more specifically, had Dr Fox as their surgeon? Thanks

I just found this site and think it is absolutely wonderful. I am not completely unfamilar with the Band. My husband was banded 3 years ago on the 14th. I have seen him drop over 100 pounds and have done things like the liquid diet, etc. to be supportive of him. The only problem was, once we weren't doing liquids, I would gain all of my weight back and then some. I went to my first appointment on January 2nd. I have Aetna, so we have 3 more visits left before we can get approval and set a surgery date. This has actually been a blessing, because I needed to have a sleep study done, and found out that I do have mild sleep apnea. That explains some of the fatigue I have been expereincing the last couple of years. I have a target surgery date set for June 1. I am excited and really motivated by the posts that I have read. Thanks
