Hello everyone, I am also new to this site. However am going next Wednesday to have my seminar for a the lap band. I see several of you also have UHC, which is who I have. I was also told no 6 month diet plan is needed if you have a BMI higher then 40. Does anyone have any idea the out of pocket cost of the actual surgery with UHC? I was told they cover 50% after the 150$ copay... that could get extremely expensive and is what I am scared about! I hope this is not the case!
