Hi I have just been banded in winnipeg!

I'm very excited I had to pay 17,500 .

Then I was looking at a linq that said manitoba covers it ?

I was soposto go to red deer in april for bypass ,but changed my mind and had it here to be close to my doctor and family.

Does anyone know how can I get reimbursed for this if it is true it is covered. I went in debt for a few years for this and if there is any hope of getting my money back our dream of a better home....

it cost 18,375

I am researching getting banded and am looking at going to Maples. Is that where you went? If it was, can you tell me abou tit? Thier professionailsm, service ect.

Its been awhile since I've been in this site.

To answer the question,they're great at maples.I really like the doctors and the dietitian is nice. Jen is great at the clinic she answers all or gets your questions answered.

After the surgery you have the doctors pager numbers if you need them,Jen is available most times. I've even e-mailed with the doctors a couple of times when I had some issues. Over all its been great I didn't start loosing weight as soon as I had hoped,but I have started now so I feel better.I had my surgery in feb. Its been 3or4 fiills now and I'm going for another next week.

I really hope that a group starts soon because I'm not that good on the computer and don't get to much time for it either.

Anyways I guess thats about it,best of luck in your decision!

just to let you know i have had a company that is paid for by lap band there job is to submit to great west life /blue cross for medical coverage for a medicaly implanted device, great west life denied me first round and i was warned that untill it goes to appeal they will likley denie it so i am hoping to get 4800 back on income tax and 5000 approx from great west life but until the cheque is in my bank i wont believe it

What company are you talking about? I deal with SunLife and have been denied.

Lap-Band Reimbursement Assistance Program

3450 Harvester Road

Burlington, ON L7N 3M7

the angle that they take and you have to check your coverage is that it is a doctor approved medicaly implanted device great west life declined me orriginaly and we are in the appeals stage

i was warned that it would probably be denied as the 1st level ajudicators seem to decline them right away failing that i would suggest a lawsuit

insurance companys hate bad publicity
