Hi Janine. I have gone to the seminar at park Nicolet but that is as far as I have gotten. They suggest that I come in and have my band checked first. I have had the band for 5 years and am heavier now than before. At the seminar, they say most insurance companies cover it. U might have to appeal it though. I c u r from Florida. That insurance might be different.

I just called my insurance company (BCBS) of Minnesota to ask if they covered the sleeve. The said no and that it was investigational. I have heard from other people that this can be appealed. Does anybody know what BCBS requires for surgery. Do they have a 6 month diet, etc. Thanks for your help

I live by the Willmar area and am attending my first seminar on June 21. I am not sure if insurance will cover this or not, but going to try. I have had gastric banding done about 5 years ago and am as heavy now as when I first had it done. I am going to go to Park Nicollette for my seminar. -
Anyone from Minnesota

I am just starting the whole process, but I was hoping to find out if BCBS in Minnesota will pay for this. Have you got any answers yet? What doctor did you pick at park nicollet. I am also looking in to that hospital.
