Hello, my wife and I are wanting to look into the band. I am 41 BMI and have sleep apnea, and borderline Diabetes. My wife has 41 BMI, osteo-arthritis, and thyroid problems. We have tried to lose weight b4 and have, but it is just temporary. We seem to gain it all back. We have Humana insurance in KY and believe they cover it. We plan on lurking this forum for answers to our questions, I want to thank everyone for posting and thank the admin for creating this site. I believe this has helped and will continue to help people interested in this surgery.
