    The 5o% is also what my coverage will pay but all that means is the 50% or your out of pocket which mine is 3000.00 so this is less than the percentage if I were you go by what your ins says not the hospital.

    Yes, I'm a Naf employee for Ramstein Inns, but Landstuhl location. My German doctor supports the decission she has been my doc for about 7 years and saw me lose and only to gain back, and now with the other conditions she thinks its a good ideal to live a healthy life for the future and thinks I can reverse the high blood pressure and the Diabetes.

    Monday morning but the Atena Global is state side so it may take awhile they said it could take 30 days, they do cover WLS 50% but this year I had a simoid resection so my out of the pocket has been met so if it approved it will pay 100% so I'm also praying. Did you have to do a 6 month program or the 3 month multidiscipanry before surgery in order to be approved?

    Thats great 86 pounds in one year WOW!!!! I have about 88 pounds to lose my BMI 36.6 but have now developed high blood pressure and Diabetic a double wammie. So I think Lap band is what I need, hopefully the ins will approve it I received the letter from the Doctor and I wrote one as well so on Monday it will be faxed to Atena Global. Any secrets to get approved and was yours thru tricare?

    Hello, I'm very interested in being approved by Atena Global. Has any been approved and what did you have to provide?Being in Germany some things are difficult because as a civilian worker you have to be seen off base, I have a German doctor, just not sure what they require and how hard or easy it is to be approved. Any info would be great, I live by Ramstein, Germany Thanks Tina
