Hello Newbie Here

I'VE BEEN LOOKING AROUND AT HAVING A LAP BAND PROCEDURE DONE AND I'M TRYING TO GET ALL THE INFO I CAN ON IT. i WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TRY AND FIND A DOCTOR CLOSE TO ME THAT DOES IT AND I'M HOPING HUBBY'S INS. WILL ACCEPT, THEY SAY THAT AS LONG AS YOU ARE OVER A BMI OF 40 ( I AM) AND HAVE CO-MORBITIY ISSUES (I DO) THEY WILL COVER IT SO FINGERS CROSSED.

    Hi Shelly,

    Welcome to LBT!! Good luck with your insurance, and please keep us posted as to when/whether you get an approval. I've heard Pennsylvania is among the worst states for banding coverage.

    Nice to meet you. Please come again! :(

    Hi Shelly,

    Good luck on getting the band. I hope it all works out for you. I have only had mine 7 weeks but don't regret a minute of it. Best wishes, Teresa
