msperson replied to laurenwhite82's topic in Insurance & Financing
cigna the plan we use to have would not even consider lapband. thankfully aetna does! I would give them a call if i was you! I cannot belive they will not cover that! i bet if it was for viagra they would! makes me mad! i heard that cigna will do gender reassignment surgery dont know if that is true though! -

i dont know about if you lose to much weight. who is your insurance company? I would give them a call though! i know even if i lose 50 pounds by the surgery my bmi still qualifies me for it! good luck and if they turn you down keep trying! -

Good idea! Yes make sure you get the insurance policy! My insurance company puts it online! I have a bmi of 48.8 but have no other health problems but I am considered morbidly obese so I qualify! Do make sure you do everything your dr tells you to do! I mean everything! Good luck! -

Do you have insurance? Also since your doctor recommended you i would think you would be fine! Have you been overweight most of your life? I am 36 years old and have been overweight most of my life and cannot wait for this surgery! Be sure to do exactly what your dr tells you to do! The insurance company loves to turn you down if you do not do everything you are suppose to do! good luck! -

msperson replied to koswalt4's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you should call them everyday if you have to! My surgeon has a lady that does all that stuff for us! Good luck! -
I have 7 kids and I cant wait to have this surgery! if i dont i will not make it to 40! I am scared to death I will die before my surgery! It is not selfish! Sometimes life gets so busy being a parent and such that we forget about ourselves!
