    Updated: Insurance requirements with questions

    I am new here and want to thank everyone in advance for patience as I am not sure about anything. I have a BMI of over 40 and many many health issues that make a Lapband a viable option. The problem for the past year or so hasa been my PCP who honestly told me he wouldnt recommend it "because when it doesnt go well, he gets blamed so he will only recommend diet and exercise". I wanted to smack him but realize to start over with a new PCP will just make this take longer so I humoured him and he finally caved in a year later. My OB/GYN and Cardiologist both have been on board with this for a while now. I have BCBS PPO and am wondering about peoples general experiences with the insurances and what I have to do to get this ball truly rolling. Any help and assistance will be greatly appreciated! Thanks Jennifer
  7. Anyone in Michigan, especially Northern Detroit Suburbs or Mid-Michigan have a good referral they can suggest. I am currently researching doctors in the Detroit/Flint area so any help woudl be most appreciate. Thanks again! Jennifer
  8. Hi I was referred here by someone I met on another website. I am interested in gaining knowledge and information regarding this procedure. It has taken me more than a year to get my PCP on board with this surgery as he seems to think that diet and exercise are the only safe way to lose weight. Unfortunately, diet hasnt worked and I have no luck with exercise due to medical issues. I have so many medical issues that make this surgery a way to change my life and I am very interested in everyone elses experiences. Anyone interested in sharing their stories, please contact me. I am not sure how to start the process of finding a doctor although I have spent most of today online researching. Thanks for your help and good luck to everyone!
