Looking for someone who has been banded using CHAMPVA. Can you tell me where to start with CHAMPVA and how much of the expenses they covered?

Well I did what they told me could not be done. I got insurance approval in less than a week. How did I do it?

Suggestions about CHAMPVA and the lap banding?
