My insurance company had said that it removed Lap Band surgery (and all WLS surgery) from it's policy this past January.

 

However, my doctor apparently CALLED them, and sent them all kinds of background information on me, including this cardiac catheter business, and appealed for me on the phone that it needs to be done.

 

Now the status is currently PENDING.

 

I have to wonder if they'll actually cover? I'm not holding my breath, but that would sure be FANTASTIC if they actually decided to do it.

 

A prayer my way wouldn't hurt!
