  3. Hi there, I have begun the search for a lap band surgeon and noticed on the boards that not many replies are given about doctors in florida. I was wondering if floridians are going out of state or is there just not as many people here getting banded. I live close to Jupiter florida with Dr, Jeffery Vaughn. If anyone has any advide or help referring doctors in South Florida I would greatly appricate it. Our insurance doesn't cover it so I am going to have to find some kind of financing. Thanks in advance for your help, Elly:smile:
  4. Hi everyone, Im Elly from Florida, married with four sons. I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I have had some luck with traditional weight loss but, I have a hard time mantaining it. My BMI is 40.4 and I have thyroid issues. I have decided in order to improve my life and health I would like to have the lapband surgery. We have United Healthcare for insurance through my husband but, I just found out today that his company doesn't allow for any bariatric proceedures. I didn't realize that certain corporations can allow what can be covered, I thought that was left to the insurance company. Anyway Does anyone know if there is a way to appeal this or if there are other ways to get the surgery financed? Also has anyone used Dr K. Andrew Larson or Jefferson R Vaughan Sr ? Thanks in advance for your support! Elly
