Hello everyone. I am new to all this. Just went to my 1st seminar & have my 1st Dr. Consultation May 9th. Already have an appointment with a dietician set up for May 14th to begin the 6 months for my Insurance which i already know does cover the surgery. when i called the dr.'s office they asked what insurance we had....i told them BC then they asked what company through .i told them and the reaction was Oh yeah they cover WLS ! .....i am now in the process of gathering my medical records for the past 5 years or so so i can take them in with me the 9th when i go see the dr.

Hello Angie,

I also have BCBS of Mass. I started with weight watchers and went for check up and my doctor referred me to dr. schneider at BI Hospital in Boston. Because I have been with my doctor for eight years and he had a history of my weight gain and loss on record I didn't have to show my weight trail for them. I did have to call BCBS and fill out a form for my doctor making sure they will accept the band and it took about 10 minutes over the phone and he explained everything to me about lapband and what they expect from me. The doctor's office submitted all the information to bcbs and was banded 3 1/2 months later. I wish you the best and it will be worth it in the end. I am excited with you!
