I understand the insurance frustration.
The only suggestion I have is, before you travel to have the band done, be sure to have a local doctor that can take care of your after care(like fills).
I have bcbs, I was scheduled for surgery 10/30 and insurance wanted more info at the last minute, so I was postponed to
12/17.
But that gave me time to drop some pounds pre surgery.
I had my first consult in July. Had to attend some classes, four I think.
Mine is coming off slow and steady. I am half way to my first goal. When I reach tbat, I will come up with a new goal.
My Dr. is amazing(you can find her info on my profile). I highly recommend her.i know framingham is a hike to brockton, but, you don't have appointments that often.
Again, welcome to the party mass ladies!!
Go Celtics!!!!!
I had the same problem with some of my friends and family. I decided to not discuss my decision on getting the lap band with them any more. Follow your heart because at the end of the day it's your health not hers.
