Hello All! This is my first post and hope everyone is good! I have just started the process to start attempting the Lap-band Surgery. I have been to my primary doctor who did some blood work and went over my health records. I have had high blood pressure for years and ashma plus last set of blood work my blood sugar was a little high. However I am nervous because my BMI is 38 not 40 has anyone ran into this? What has their luck been with insurance paying since mine has to be authorized first? I would greatly apprecitate any input...and thanks!

Thank you! That is what I hear and I am in Kansas and going through "Solutions for Life" to do like nutrition classes and than they help with insurance and all. I know that its a "lifestyle" change and I am ready! But worried since we all know how some insurance companies can be, we have Preferred Health of Kansas. Thanks again
