I got the referral from my PCP and finally got my appointment to visit the Surgeons office. I go through the measuring, photo taking, test taking process and find out that my insurance (blue cross hmo) isnt' paying the surgeon the 4,000 for the band so the dr that my insurance referred me to in the first place isnt performing this procedure- HOWEVER he is doing the gastric bypass.
i weigh 242 lbs and I'm about 5 4. should i do the bypass?
