@@KristenLe I have floridablue. bluecare.

@@CrissyCakes my insurance will not cover the sleeve or bypass. They just cover the lapband. I have read a lot of negative on fb groups but im seeing positive here. I believe my insurance will cover revision surgery after 2 years if you are still above the criteria. Which I think is silly. Why waste all that money and not just cover it from the start? It is actually my job that is only choosing to pay for the lapband and not include the others on the insurance. So I will be writing a letter to HR to dispute it. But if they wont approve sleeve, I am doing the band.

Hello all! I recently went to a seminar for the sleeve and have my consultation with the DR in june. I really wanted the sleeve but my insurance will only cover the lapband, so I am going to go with that. I am 400lbs. I am young but have high cholesterol, high bp (controlled with meds) arrythmia (cardiologist cleared me for surgery) and am risk of heart disease. so it needs to happen. I have been seeing a dietitian and have done many diets. I lose a little bit and thats it. I am concerned it will not help me to lose enough weight to get to where I want to be (180) Anyone in here around my weight and get down to that goal weight? Any pros/cons you can share with me? I am excited to get it done already!!
