My paperwork was submitted to insurance today...I am hoping for a quick reply. They said my insurance usually takes about 24-48 hours to answer. I am 5'4 also and am at 235 right now... my all time high also. Let me know how it goes for you. Congratulations on getting approved.

Congratulations Edie!! I used to live in Owensboro several years ago. I am glad the badn worked so well for you and I am hoping that if I decide to get it done I will have the same results.

I work for the school board so my Humana is through the state. I guess I better get to the doctor to get started on my diet. I still have to think about this... I am the biggest chicken in the world when it comes to doctors and surgeries... I need a lot of support!!!

oh, and does anyone know how Humana handles the surgery? Do they cover it?

Hi, I live in Brandenburg Kentucky. I have not even began the process of the lapband yet. I am still thinking about it. My PCP has discussed it with me some what. I am 43 years old, 5'4 225 pounds now. I think my BMI is around 39, I have high blood pressure, insulin resistance, back pain, etc, etc. I am scared to death of surgery but I have to do something. My daughter had gastric bypass surgery in Nov. 2006 and has lost over 150 pounds. I don't want to go with the by pass. I was wondering what doctor everyone used and any other information anyone could give me. I will of course be looking at having the surgery in Louisville. My daughter's doctor was Dr. Shina, I don't know how many lapband surgeries he has done though. I look forward to talking to others in my area that have had the procedure and what the results have been.
