Hey ... I've been looking at some of the forums and can't find one solid answer lol.. I'm in need of the lab band and wanted to know if you guys know any insurances that have a quick turn around for surgery. And what hospital should I go to. I've been doing my research and I seen Jacobi was good and metro plus insurance or any insurance with a PPO .. Helpppppp please ....

Is there anyone from ny???

There is no answer. Every insurance company has their own provisions and regulations. Each company has parameters for approving all surgeries as well as testing. In my case my insurance company states a 6 month supervised wait. However due to serious health issues an appeal was won and I was approved (after first being denied) in 2 months.

I switched over to metro plus and called the hospital and they stated because I have that insurance it will only take 2-3 months.. So excited to get started. When is your surgery date ?

Great! Mine is 9/13. I'm nervous and excited. I had the band years ago. They're removing it and doing the sleeve at the same time, if all goes well.
