also...when I had anthem through my employer ANY weight surgery was completely excluded even if you paid for it on your own and then got sick from it...they wouldn't cover that hospital stay.

thanks for your advice! what is the fee you paid dr curry at the beginning? my insurance is tricare, and I've read on these boards they will be covering lap band. I know that for gastric bypass you have to be so much overweight AND have additional listed issues or be 200% over ideal wieght and I think I am the latter. I am not sure of what they don't cover but for normal everydays stuff there hasn't been anything YET that they haven't covered. woohoo!!!

I'm in cincinnati and hoping to get banded in the new year. I have tricare insurance and have been reading that in Dec 2007 they amended the manual and now DO INCLUDE lap band. I hope that info is correct. I have a seminar with Dr. Curry on 1/3. I am so excited I can hardly breathe. how long does it usually take to get things rolling?

this is so exciting. I have a seminar on Jan 3rd with "the band doctor". I so hope I can get the lap band. My husband is in the army so this is great!
