thank you and good luck to you also i hope everything works out for ya. l keep me posted.

nope, only thing i have is osetoslaughters in my knee and asthma none but if i gain 2 more lbs my bmi will be at 40 so i wouldnt need any right?

I am 20 years old. My BMI Is 39.9. I have no comorbities (sp?) I have scheduled a consultation with the surgerion already i just wanted some advice before i meet with him. i contacted my health insurance co. Highmark BCBC and they will do it with these requirements. 40 BMI 35 with 2 comorbities. Proof of Failed Past Diet. 6 Mnth Nutrition Class & Psych Evaluation. $250 deductible they handle the rest. so what do you think my chances are of getting it done (nervous) :thumbup:

So. my name is sarah and my boyfriends mom had lapband done and she has done GREAT and ill admit im jealous. we were the same weight 240 lbs and my bmi is 39.9 my insurance company is highmark bcbs ppo and she had it done at mcgees womens hospital in pittsburgh. im currenlty on the diet pill from my doctor xenical and its not helping. i been big all my life but its getting worse. my dad just had a heart attack at 44 and it made me really see what im getting myself into and diabetes is a big issue my dad aunt uncle and pap so that also scares me.i know im only 20 but i really want this. not for looks but for health im just looking for advice and would i be covered? and just some help please
