    Regence/First Choice

    I was told by Regence, my primary insurance co. that my plan does not pay for this type of surgery but I called back and was told I could appeal. I'm also covered under my husband's First Choice/Unicare and I understand they do cover this but I'm not sure how much and what they require. Does anyone have experience with these two companies? Kat
  2. Can anyone tell me what questons are asked at a psych evaluation? Is it possible to flunk the evaluation? Also, I had 3 hernia repairs within months of each other, a couple years ago. I have a ton of scar tissue, metal clips and mesh in my tummy. Will this cancel my chances of being approved? Kat

    Hi, I'm still in the planning stage but am thinking about it night and day. I'm trying to get in to see my regular doc to help me with paperwork. I'm 5'4, 230 pounds, type II Diabetic, recent BC survivor and know I have to have this done. I'm covered under my hubby's 1st choice but have no idea what they pay. Can you reccomend a doc. in Seatle, Edmonds, Bellevue area? I'm looking at differnet sites but I don't want to just pick one that way. Kat
  4. Hi Nance, I'm in Lynnwood WA. What is NWWLS? I'm in the very beginning stages of requesting approval but I'm not sure where to go. I understand there is a good team at Overlake Hospital, do you know anyone who has gone there?

  5. Hi All, Is it possible to have the Lap Band when you have a tummy full of metal and mesh? I had 3 hernia surgeries within 6 months of each other 3 years ago and heard this might might disqualify me for surgery, is this true? Tiny Girl
