Hi Everyone. I'm getting banded May 3rd. Actually my surgeon recommends start solids as soon as you can tolerate it. after the banding is done. My surgeon is awesome and I've seen some wonderful results from alot of patients.

He was very impressed with everything that I had done on my own. I have Diabetes and High BP my weight was 195lbs..Do to some recently stress lately in my life I lost 10lbs. So my BM is 36.,I have Pennsylvania Capital Blue Cross once everything was submitted 23 pages worth of information..I was approved within 24hrs.. My Goal Weight is 130lbs GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE MAY BANDSTERS! Lets get the party started (I'm one of those people that gets everyone motivated)

Hello Everyone, I am going for my lap band consult on thursday. I have 2 insurance. Empire Blue Cross PPO (Primary) and Pennsylvania Capital Blue Cross PPO (Secondary). .The surgeon that I really want to use is a participating provider for Empire Blue,however where he would do the lap band procedure where he could do it (The hospital that is) is considered out network and they said I would have co insurance and I have to pay 30% out of pocket However with Capital Blue Cross which is secondary covers everything doctor is provider and is considered IN NETWORK for everything I'm trying to find out if capital blue cross would covere the difference and the copays Or is there a way I could just strictly use capital blue cross. Really not sure what to do???

Thank you. I will call capital blue cross tommrow and verify it with them. Thank you.. Thats what the doctors office told me they would pay 70% then I would have the patient balance of 30% or coinsurance.. Thats what I was trying to find out if they would cover the 30%...Yes they do cover hospital and doctor 100% in network
