Stupid Insurance!!

I was all ready to jump in head first and get banded, I fit all the requirements by my insurance, BCBS, (two comorbids).

Then find out I need 12 months of documented weight loss. My pcp, even tho he's been treating my for years for weight loss, won't consider that sufficient.

I just can't envision waiting an entire year!!!

Just wondering if anyone else ran into this?

And blowing off a bit of steam!

    Just found out today that my BCBS doesn't even cover lap band. Won't cover newer options. I was to have surgery on Sept.19. So, i feel your pain. They will cover gastric bypass. I have federal BCBS by the way.

    What are we paying insurance for....
