hi seen you were 20 and i am also and i seen you got approved for banding may i ask what your bmi is, and insurance you have? and do you have co morbities?
im 20 no co morbities and bmi of 39.9 im nervous of getting approved
-
I didn't have any co-morbidities. I had been looking into getting banded a year before I actually did, so my surgeon kind of helped me. Like, I didn't weigh enough because I had been trying to lose the weight so he gave me some weights to hold on to when we did my official insurance weigh-in.

I am 20 years old. My BMI Is 39.9. I have no comorbities (sp?) I have scheduled a consultation with the surgerion already i just wanted some advice before i meet with him. i contacted my health insurance co. Highmark BCBC and they will do it with these requirements. 40 BMI 35 with 2 comorbities. Proof of Failed Past Diet. 6 Mnth Nutrition Class & Psych Evaluation. $250 deductible they handle the rest. so what do you think my chances are of getting it done (nervous) :thumbup:
