  2. One Size Lap Band Fits All?

    Anch posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    I know there are different sizes of Lap Band capacities (10 cc, 14 cc, etc...), how is it determined who gets what? Also I'd like to know if you have the Lap Band already in place, what size do you have and why...? Thanks!

    Hi! I am a newbie and I started my lap band journey on 6/26/12 (attending the seminar). I am 44 years old and have a BMI of 37.5. I have also been diagnosed with high blood pressure. I know that BCBS requires at least one comorbidity if a BMI that is lower than 40. I am wondering if anyone is going through the same situation as me (or similar). I am still going through the early process, but wanted to know if BCBS has given anyone a hard time about approving the lap band procedure (with a BMI < 40 and at lease one comorbidity). Thank you for your input in advance.
