Each insurance compnay has there own set of criteria you have to meet.

If you go see a qualified Lap Band Surgeon, they will be aware of what you need to do to get pre-approval for the surgery.

You can probably look on line with you insurance company to see what they require, or you can find someone on here that has the same insurance that can guide you.

Good luck!

Where are you going to? I am also from Kentucky and looking to have this done at Central Baptist. I have Humana working for the state. They require you to do six months supervised dieting with your physician. You will need to get in contact with your insurance to make sure from the get go that you are following their guidelines. I cannot even see the surgeon until my fifth month into seeing the physician and they know that my insurance will pay.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
