I just found out my insurance is going to cover my lap band surgery as well as any after care including fills and abdominal skin removal when I get to goal weight. I am super re leaved that they aren't going to make me do a whole list of things before they will cover me, all I need is my PCP and surgeons to write a referral letter! I am withing 2-4 months from having my surgery depending on when my dietary, psychiatric and physical activity appointments happen! Wish me luck!

that's awesome! best wishes to you, it's going to be a start of a whole new life!

How do you get plastic surgery covered like that? Don't you need to it to be medically necessary for them to cover it?

I have absolutely no idea as to why they will cover me but my insurance rep. said that they will cover it, I also called and asked to speak to someone else because this also sounded strange to me but I won't knock it. If they will cover it then awesome saves me the hassle if in the end they change their mind then w.e don't bother me none, I plan to have more kids anyway so it'd be a long time anyways. No sense in a tummy tuck til after I am done having kids right? LOL Any ways thanks mis73 for the well wishes I super excited , I am a crazy coupon lady and I've already started to prepair for my new life/ pre and post op liquid diet. Got me some yummy things that won't go bad til like next year and my cute little blender and processor!
