    Hi...I am considering LB surgery

    to get the ball rolling in IL for medicaid, call Mercy’s LAP-BAND Program at 312.567.BAND(2263). they will set you up for a seminar. that is the first step. at the seminar, they will explain what to do from there.:smile2:

    Hi...I am considering LB surgery

    thanks for the tips. i have a good attitude about it, but a friend of mine in another state went through the process only to be told by her state's medicaid that she had to wait 2.5 years for the actual surgery, so it made me nervous. im looking forward to taking these steps though, i am so ready to be healthy!

    Hi...I am considering LB surgery

    i am 5'7 and 286; my bmi is 44.5. my bp and cholesterol are fine, but i was recently diagnosed with PCOS and take metformin. i meet the criteria for surgery, but im worried that my public aid wont cover it, lol, though i think thats just paranoia.

    Hi...I am considering LB surgery

    Thanks for the info! that was all really helpful. I have IL health connect so thats a plus... also, how easy was it for you to get approved? did you have any pre-existing medical conditions? sorry i have so many questions, lol.
