Thank you Alexandra. I will check on that. Thanks again. You all have done so well!

Has anyone found if you have Lapband surgery that you will never be able to be covered for health insurance if you ever lose your current coverage?

Thanks Wheetsin. I have a friend who is looking into getting the band (me too) and she works in a doctors office and has 3 people that have come into the office to see the doctor and she knew they had had the lapband done and all three of them said they found out the hard way that you can't get coverage after the surgery for any type of health insurance. 2 of them are not covered by any insurance any longer and one is covered because she went to work for a company that offered group insurance so there was no pre existing condition limit. I told her I wound come her to ask, you all know a lot of information.

Hello, Hope everyone is well. Has anyone used or heard anything about Dr. Steinberg in Georgia? Thanks Teri

Hello, My name is Teri. I am wanting to have the Lapband done, I live in Lawrenceville, GA, anyone live near me? I am insured under my husbands BCBS of FL. I have not had any luck as to being able to get this covered under his policy, any suggestions? If I have to pay for this out of my pocket I have been told it could cost up to 20K, I don't have this kind of change hanging around. I was told that Capital 1 would finance this so I called them, it would cost about 455 to 755 a month depending on credit once again I can't afford this, anyone have any other suggestions? The Dr. is S. Steinberg anyone heard anything about him?

Once again thank you all for all this info.

Thank you all for getting back to me so quickly. Who did you get to finance your surgeries?
