  1. I'm not good at saving I have to admit. I will probably do better paying a higher monthly rate. I will for sure call a specialist and see what they say. You guys have been such a big help. Thank u!
  2. Yea I did read something about that. I'm not sickly or have health conditions at all other than weight issues. I'm thinking about call the 800 number and just asking in general the options too. My job just have these papers to us Friday and they want them back by the 10th that's not fair but I'm on it
  3. Thank u! :-). I think it is the best thing to do. I don't want to get myself into something I can't get out of
  4. Sounds like what I wanted hear! I send want to choose the one that pay the most with the least out of pocket even if my monthly payment is higher. Thank you. You really help me. I'm going to make an outline and see which one I lean towards :-)
  5. My job just announce we are getting bc/bs, but im stuck in which plan to choose please help! I can choose either the premier $0, premier 1,000, premier 500 or the advantage Indiana open access. I'm not smart with insurance stuff does anyone know about this stuff? ;-(
  6. Ok. I'm in a Rock and a hard place. I have the chance to get banded and try for a baby. Has anyone went ahead and got the lapband and then got pregnant right away? How did that work out?
  7. Thank you for letting me know. I'm going to look into my options
  8. Wow! That's awesome!!!! Congrats to you! I think you are making the right decision!
  9. Congrats to you!!!!! If I may ask, which plan under BSBS IL do you have? I want to look into getting that plan.
  10. Have anyone purchased insurance just to get the band? If so, what policy did go with and how long do u have to wait before having a lapband surgery? My BMI is 40 so I don't think I'm required to do the 6 month diet.
  11. Thank u I have a little hope now. I am determined to get this done! Loan, insurance or the new car is going back lol
  12. Do anyone know of any insurances that will cover the lap band. I already consulted with a surgeon and got all my work up for the procedure. However my insurance will not cover it. My bmi is 40 so I automatically qualify but I am willing to change my insurance at any cost. Then if i do purchase insurance what is the grace period in which i would have to wait? Any suggestions? Next step for me is a loan which I am trying to void
