Sandy will you let me know how your appointment goes tonight? I have Anthem HMO 100 %. I just recently went to my family doctor in Northridge and found out my blood pressure is 171/104. She prescribed me medication and scheduled a full physical on June 10th. I have not asked her to yet to refer me for this procedure because I'm not sure if my insurance would cover it. I weigh 220 lbs at 5' 7" and I am 39 years old. Like I said, I have severly high blood pressure. I would like to weigh 135, but I don't know if 85 lbs is enough weight for me to qualify for my insurance coverage. What process have you gone through so far to get this appointment?

Hi everyone I'm hoping one of you can help me. I am 5' 7" and currently weigh 220 lbs. I believe my BMI is at 34, but I am not sure. I am not even sure if I am considered a low BMI. I am 39 years old and my blood pressure was last checked two weeks ago at 174/104, which is severe. My doctor prescribed me medication to control it and I am supposed to go back for a full physical on June 10 at which time I want to inform her that I would like to receive the lapband proceedure. My question is this- Does anyone know if my insurance would approve this for me? I have Anthem Blue Cross HMO 100%. I would like to return to my normal weight of 135 lbs, but I'm not sure if being 85 lbs overweight is enough to qualify for insurance coverage.
