Hello, I'm from Fort Worth, and beginning the process of trying to get my insurance to approve my lap band surgery. Where we are now, is that my BMI is high enough, but I must have another condition such as sleep apnea for them to cover. I'm going to schedule a sleep study soon. Has anyone done one of these before? Not sure what to expect. Actually crossing fingers that I do have sleep apnea, because I don't have the money to pay for surgery myself. I don't have diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. My only hope is in this sleep test. Hoping to soon be posting about upcoming surgery date! :drool:
Background Info: I've been trying to find a way to this surgery for over 2 years. I finally decided to work part time at Starbucks so that I could get on their Aetna Insurance plan... which I had "heard" covers WL surgery. I'm finally on the payroll, have the insurance card, and am just hoping my bright idea actually works out. Wish me luck!
