  1. I am still up in the air with who I want to get the band with. Who is the best and which center is the best at getting insurance to approve
  2. Sorry my email is cardude32246@yahoo.com

  4. Hi I am trying to get mine done I am looking for a good doctor real soon in ky and was wondering I you could send me a copy of those letters to be ready if they deny me since my work has it excluded
  5. Ok will the insurance company just agree to send it out or will they try to tell me they can't? Also just ask for my complete detailed coverage or just bariatric
  6. Well I called back and gave them hell asking why someone else with the same insurance got it done and this other person told me it was under the exclusion list but with a doctors written referral and the proper information it could be approved so now to find a good doctor in ky that would help advocate my situation I believe I'm a great candidate
  7. I will certainly do that. I think I will also ask them why it's not covered when I know a person that had it done with the same insurance
  8. Well looks like my journey ends here I called my insurance bcbs anthem and they told me they do not cover lap band at all and out of pocket is out of the question do if there isn't any other way looks like it won't be getting done
  9. Hi all I am new here and really interested in getting the band and my wife is also debating on doing it too. Could any please tell me what the usual routine that they went through when they decided to get the band from the first dr app. To the day of surgery thanks
