i got mine from Wallgreens i'm sure any other pharmacy would carry the same thing. it's about $25-$30

Legally if you have any mobliities your insurance SHOULD cover it. i know that Lap Band could fight for it. you have to just push them ans keep on calling them. DON'T GIVE UP! it took me 7 months to get my insurance approval and hopefully i'll have my surgery this month but as i said you have to push them and keep on asking questions. it's a difficult process but i'm sure it's worth it.

so my BMI was only 35 but i've been struggling ever since i was a kid! so my primary doctor wrote a real good letter to my insurance company stating all the diets and all the fitness, gym and alllll other things that i have tried so far. i actually got 2 letters from my primary doctors and send those in ... it TRUELOVE help and i was just approved! in a way put yourself in the Insurance shoes and try to convince yourself why they should pay for your surgery. you have provide evidence and make them to realize that you NEED to have the surgery it's not a WANT. my whole packet was about 50 pages of all kinds of receipts, gym memberships , Lindora, Weight Watchers and whole other diets that i've tried so far. good luck! : )

i Sophinator, i've just gotten my approval letter and now am waiting for my surgery day!!! here's exactly what happened in my case... right after the seminar they'll sit down with you and go over all your complications, weight, height and EVERYTHING.... let them know what your concerns are and then they'll go from there on with submitting it to your insurance and so on. Mostly they'll take care of everything and provide clear direction. IF on any case they don't you have a specific Person who handels your case. GOOD LUCK! :rolleyes2:
