I have talked to Caroline several times on the phone and she seems like such a nice person. She was very helpful and she tried to answer all my stupid questions. We are so going to be thier 8-13-09

I have UHC as well. When i first called thay said as long as BMI>35 the surgery is covered, but as I started reading more on different website, it did sound way to easy so I called again and talked to a care coordinator and she really got me confused. No definite answer about guidelines. I just going to go to seminar with my husband(who is also thinking about band) and see what they say. I know my doc will be more than happy to help and maybe they will take in to account my family history.

I talked to my care coorindinator with United Healthcare today. They should call them i don't care. Anywho, i couldn't really get an anwser on specific requirements. I have no comobities(sp) and my BMI just dropped to 39.9 when i went to doctor Monday. I'm currently taking adipex. I'm going to use Clark Memorial in Jeffersonville Indiana and I was wondering how much leg work will they do for me? I'm really concerned I'll be denied.:wub:

Hopefully we can both be approved. I'm currently taking adipex and my BMI has dropped to 39.9 and i have no comobities(sp)My husband BMI is 44 and he has hypertension. I am really hoping that UHC takes in account my family history of heart disease, generative bone loss, etc. I talked to a care coorinator today and she was really rude. I couldn't get one straight answer.GRRRH:mad:

Hello all. I'm new to the lap band land. My doctor just recommend it yesterday. Both my husband and I are attending a seminar 8-13-09 and I must say that I'm exicted. My main concern is the cost but I've been told that by my insurance that all i should have to pay is a $250.00 copay. I have United Healthcare. If anybody has dealt with them please let me know or if anyone has had lap band at Clark Memorial in Indiana. Thanks and happy losing.:thumbup:
