Just wondering if this has happened to anyone. I had the lap band done in November and everything worked out great . My fills have always been covered. My last one wasn't covered - the insurance company explained because of the new diagnosis code because i'm not considered morbid obese anymore i'm not covered. I'm not at my goal weight, 7 lbs til i'm not considered overweight but i'm still upset that they are not paying. How do they start something and not willing to let me finish. I am going to appeal, so if anyone as any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

I know its been a while. Just wanted to let you all know that the benefit administrator had the insurance company pay for the fill that they said wasn't covered. They also informed me that they will cover for fills the first year of surgery even if your not considered obese. Thanks again for everyones advice

Thank you for your help. I also work at a hospital, so i'll take your advice and start with my benefits administrator. I'll let you know the outcome. Thanks again! Jeannie

Not sure my feelings on this. I keep saying i'm going to treat myself to a piece of cake christmas eve, but then I think I shouldn't even be thinking about cake. Had my surgery Nov 19th down 28 pounds. If anyone has any input, please share with me. Thanks
