  1. Happy -- Birthday cvn69nva!

  2. This is great news! I am researching and found two hospitals that are on the list for my insurance. I already signed up for a informational session like everyone suggested. And now my doctor says that since I have been doing WW for a few weeks, to keep at it since she can use that as the supervised diet. I just have to printout the tracking information to show 6 months. Hopefully I can have this done before Christmas. This is my gift to myself!
  3. Difa, I found a few surgeons in the Philadelphia area that GEHA covers. I do meet all of the requirements. I am starting the 6 month diet supervision with my doctor. Did GEHA cover it 100% or did you have out of pocket cost?
  4. My PCP is with the dept of va affairs and I have insurance through my job. I am calling my PCP to see if I can do the 6 months of weightloss with her instead of doing weight watchers. I am not going to give up! If this doesn't work then when open season begins I'll switch to BCBS and still get it..
  5. I received information from my doctor on lapband and also gastric bypass. She stated that since I have GEHA insurance that they might elect to do a different WLS. I thought there were only these two types of surgeries. I did call insurance but received vague answers from them. Guess I better find out who they cover in my area.
  6. Hi everyone! After many years of trying to lose weight, my doctor is giving me the go ahead for weight loss surgery if I can't lose some weight by September. She and I have discussed the lap band and she gave me some information to read. Right now, what do i need to do to prep for this surgery? I am a little confused by all of the different surgeries that are lap band or something similar to it.
