Hey all! My dh & I are going to a seminar about the lapband tomorrow. I CANNOT wait!!! The surgery is for me....he weighs 160 soaking wet! LOL

My BMI is 41, I have stress incontinence and depression. I am hoping I will quailfy for the surgery. I am worried though because I don't have anything very serious like diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc. Has anyone qualified before without other health problems?

Also, after the seminar, what's the next step? I have Aetna POS and am hoping I can get approved quickly. I am a very impatient person! LOL

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Insurance usually covers over 40 BMI. Some insurance comps. require a 6 month medically supervised diet and then you can get the surgery. They will give you lots of info at the seminar.....

good luck!!
