SO I have called my insurance company and they said that the lap band is only covered if it is medically necessary. and they need to have a doctor call them for authorization. Why does insurance have to be such a pain... I don't see why it wouldnt be necessary on my part I am kinda jacked LOL....

BMI 46

sleep Apnea

Depression

Family history both sides of Diabetes (on the edge)

So now what? I am going to a siminar the 15th of this month.. What happens next.

Go to the seminar and go to the Dr. and he takes it from there. No insurance company is going to take your word . Your Dr office does the work. BCBS has lots of qualifiers and diet restrictions this is not something you just get to have . You will need qualifiers a pysch eval and a nutritionist plus a Dr recommendation, blood work, maybe heart and pulmonary Dr. clearance. So get reasy to wait...
