Oh yes! a pcp thanks Dr.C,I already have a surgeon its you!

Without going through a Job/Company,just apply for personal benefits? Like.. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield,and be able to see a LapBand doctor,would Anthem pay for your surgery as long as you pay your deductable? any ideas would be great!

I called and found out in order to even get private insurance I need to weigh 170ish,not 200lbs like I do today,so I was told to get my weight down then apply to see if im approved.Boy!if it were that easy..I've been trying for 8 years to get to 170ish closes I got was 186lbs and that drove me nutz!

Thankyou, Alexandra.... Im in Ohio,Cincinnati.I'll look that up,and hopefully find a company that will cover bariatric surgery.If you have any more info let me know. Have a good night,and congrats on your sucess(14/16),I smile everytime

I live in Cincinnati,Ohio. Im 5'2,200lbs, 26 yrs and suffer form asthma,sarcoid and was told I had a mild stroke at 16 yrs old.I have a family history of Heart Failure on both sides, and Diabetes. Q:I have been to to family doctors,and despite my dieting for the last 7 years and having a trainer and joining a fitness club trying on my own,they both refuse to look into this final option(Lap Band).Is their any other options for me..since my doctor wont even refer me for help??? Im gonna have a hard time getting financing or Insurance(Medicaid)... as it is.

Thankyou for your support,it is even unlikely that I can get a credit card. Im am very much feeling they way you do anyway...I will b e more than happy to speak with you during your transition. I suppose anyway I should ask you what credit card are u going through....would you send me a link???I've been using all my options even though I've been getting turned down.:phanvan Congrats!!
