I am just wondering if anybodies insurance componany consider having the band removed as another wls ? I am with united health and they only will pay for one wls in a lifetime . I had my band put on blue cross and blue sheild so dont have to worry about that . Just worried about what they consider for band removal

Hi I am getting ready to start in this new journy in my life . I had the lap band put on in may 2006 maybe lost 50lbs at most and now I am really thinking about the sleeve. I go for my first appointment on 8/10/12 (cant wait)! I guess I am asking anyone who has united (i have the most exsenise one the epo) . I guess I am wondering how other peoples made out with united health . I did not have united with my lapband ,so this is a new ball game for me ! Please feel free to leave any messages to help me out !

Thank you !

Thank you and are very sorry for the troubles u are having . I work with the state of maryland so I dont think the employer will be the problem . I didn't use them to have my lap band put on . I have been going to a diet doctor for 2 years now never lost over 10 lbs and I also have my proof of my gym memember ship so I am hoping that will help and my bmi is 44 so I hope it works in my favor

If you guys dont mind me asking did your insurance give u a problem? and did they consider your band removal another weight loss surgey ? I go to see my doctor on friday to see about band removal and get the sleeve .

Thank you all so very helpful but my next question is removing the lap band consider a weight loss surgey? United didnt pay for my lap band . I went threw my husband insurance the first time.

Thank you everyone for everything fine out more come not week fingers crossed

Thank u all my biggest worry is they are going to give me a fit because of my lap band not being successful. I am hoping all will go well have the best packet my work offered the epo plan and I work for the state of maryland so pretty big company lol but I will see next friday hope all goes well
