  1. cigna the plan we use to have would not even consider lapband. thankfully aetna does! I would give them a call if i was you! I cannot belive they will not cover that! i bet if it was for viagra they would! makes me mad! i heard that cigna will do gender reassignment surgery dont know if that is true though!
  2. i dont know about if you lose to much weight. who is your insurance company? I would give them a call though! i know even if i lose 50 pounds by the surgery my bmi still qualifies me for it! good luck and if they turn you down keep trying!
  3. would you include prelapbanders? I would love to go! I live down by houston but would love to come!
  4. way to go! Can I ask why the denied you and who is your insurance company?
  5. Good idea! Yes make sure you get the insurance policy! My insurance company puts it online! I have a bmi of 48.8 but have no other health problems but I am considered morbidly obese so I qualify! Do make sure you do everything your dr tells you to do! I mean everything! Good luck!
  6. Do you have insurance? Also since your doctor recommended you i would think you would be fine! Have you been overweight most of your life? I am 36 years old and have been overweight most of my life and cannot wait for this surgery! Be sure to do exactly what your dr tells you to do! The insurance company loves to turn you down if you do not do everything you are suppose to do! good luck!
  7. so happy for you! I start my journey come next Monday!
  8. you should call them everyday if you have to! My surgeon has a lady that does all that stuff for us! Good luck!
  9. I have 7 kids and I cant wait to have this surgery! if i dont i will not make it to 40! I am scared to death I will die before my surgery! It is not selfish! Sometimes life gets so busy being a parent and such that we forget about ourselves!
  10. I have aetna. this is what the website says Obesity Surgery have you done everything that they require? who is your surgeon? im getting mine very soon! dont give up! keep at em!
