I have Anthum Blue Cross of California PPO Anybody had a difficult time with them to get approved? thanks!

Bry, Thanks for the comment. sleep study has been done. Any other suggestions when it comes to submitting the file to Insurance company? thanks

Karen, i know someone who's in a very similar situation. do you know if they should have their primary physician to write some sort of a letter? what other ways would it help to get this approved by the insurance?

so i just went through my Sleep Study.. what's next? does anybody know what the process will be like? should i accept myself to go through the surgery any time soon?!?

i wish i could give you an answer... but from what i know and from whati've heard if you do want to pay out of pocket it's about 15-20k Now, since you have been approved through you Insurance then i would imagine since it is a HMO you would only have to pay the COPAY.... if they do raise the question of how much you have to pay out of pocket i would call the insurance company and find out from them.. they should be able to give you a good estimate. either way GOOD LUCK and i'm excited for you... : )

oh my gosh i can't believe this i live in Rancho myself! this is great..... where did you end up going? who's the best doctor around in this area? :biggrin:

hey ya alll...... :crying: i've gone through all my testing.... i am going in for my Sleep Study this Thursday!! right after this they are going to submit my documents to the INSURANCE Co. hopefully the rest would go smooooothllyyy..... .:confused: i hope I'll be a part of SEPTEMBER PEOPLE! :scared2:

Justrite, you are doing a wonderful job. thank you so much for speaking up.. it defiantly means alot to the ones who haven't gone through the process yet. I've defiantly thought twice about the surgery and as you've mentioned it is a big deal! it's life changing... i hope everything works out for you!!!

i need to loose exactly 50 pounds to be considered as HEALTHY. Morgan, i'll go on ahead and try out the Bandster Rules... Thank you so much for the info... :blushing:

Totally for myself.... not a person who cares about people nor what they think.... I've tried and tried to loose weight but every time i bounce back to the same situation.... i mean i do have my own excuses too ... Yes going to Graduate School... Working Full Time.... and other problems that everybodyelse has... doing and going through this process would only and ONLY be for myself

I am 23 years old and have been on sooo many different diets so far. Tried Lindora for months and lost about 20 pounds then right after gained it all back... weight watchers and so many other diets by myself. i weight 162 and am 5 2" do you think it's a good idea for me to get the lapband? :blushing::cool2:
