I have an appointment on 11/2/11 with Dr. Mancini, or i suppose my first visit is with the PA i was told on the phone. I am very excited, the receptionist told my my insurnce (bcbs IL) covered the procedure, so if all goes well hopefully i will have Dr. Mancini doing my lapband. I just really wanted to talk to former pts of his.

Hello, i'm new at all this, so i had a few questions if anyone can help. i am 5'4 and I weigh 205 lbs. i have high bp, depression, borderline diabetic, and severe restless leg syndrome. i am worried that i may not be heavy enough to qualify for insurance to cover. I have bcbs IL, which i do know they cover this surgery. what does anyone think, oh yea, my BMI is 35..
