  1. Insurance for corrective surgery

    bugsyboy replied to bugsyboy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Thanks Cleo! My eating isnt great and I think you captured most of what I eat on the list of no-nos! (bread, pasta, rice, beef, pork, ham, raw veggies, carbonated beverages). What % of folks aren't able to eat these foods? I do workout 2-3x a week with a trainer. I was thinking for the money that I was paying him, I could get the surgery and do the workouts myself or see him once a week.

  2. Insurance for corrective surgery

    I am looking to get the band "off label", and have a "low" BMI of 31 so my insurance won't cover the surgery. I am wondering, If there are complications afterwords, swelling, infection etc and I need an adjustment, would my insurance cover that? Thanks!
