I live in Pennsylvania, I have Highmark PPO Blue. Over a year ago, I was approved for gastric bypass surgery with a BMI at 41%. I went to the first consultation but decided I didn't want to have that radical of surgery. I am, however, very very interested in the lapband since it is not nearly as invasive. I think I was told at my initial consultation that lapbanding was not currently paid for by insurance companies in PA. Does anyone know if Highmark PPO Blue has changed their tune? I would ask my doctor, but he passed away and I haven't discussed gastric banding with my new doctor.
