  1. I have posted before but not for awhile. i finally got my insurance that i will have with this company for the long haul. I signed up for my first seminar today. going on jan 24 to dennis smith's seminar. has anyone used him? i havent gotten any prices yet from him but he is the one that is closest to me and also uses kennestone hospital. i could use alll the advice i can get! thanks randiik
  2. thanks! i looked at his prices and he is pretty high.. i am not really familar with how much the surgery is but reading these forums his price seems a bit on the higher end. i want a good surgeon but i want to be able to afford him and have the insurance cover also. i will check him out though. thank you for the information! randi
  3. hi. i live in acworth and i am wanting to get this procedure done as soon as my insurance is switched from UHC to BCBS of south dakota. ( and hopefully i get approved!) thats who my employer have now since the head office is in sioux falls SD. is dr champion the closest to where i live or are there others in the acworth area? thanks
  4. i posted awhile back about UHC but now I found out that my company is switching INS in Jan. I did get to look at the plans offered and on all of them it shows a LTM of 10k for morbid obsesity. I havent signed up for the plan yet, but I will be getting the better on with no deductable and only a $100 copay for hospital stay. I am not sure what else it covers but I am hoping to get approved and everything by March or sooner! does anyone else have bcbs of sd? randi
  5. my insurance takes effect tomorrow nov 1. i am wondering how long i need to have the insurance before i apply for this. i do have a doctor appt with my primary on friday to see if he will help get me started in the process to get approved for lap band.
