Hi all! I just wanted to say that the company I work for is switching from United Health Care to BCBS of Alabama effecitve Jan 1, 2008. I spoke in length with the representative sent to our company from BCBSAL regarding Bariatric surgery and asked specifically about lapband. He told me that it is an APPROVED surgery as long as the patient meets the requirements. I am attending a seminar on Nov 17 and hope to have my official consultation sometime after Jan 1, 2008 and hope to schedule surgery sometimes soon after that.

Hello everyone. My name is Heather and I will be getting the lap band after the new year when my new insurance goes into effect. :whoo: I have been overweight my entire life. :help: I am 30 years old, married with 4 children-3 girls and 1 boy. I look forward to the days ahead when I will be able to do outdoor activities with my children again. :clap2:
