Please reconsider your choice of facilities. If you have insurance I would find a real bariatric surgeon like mine, Dr. Carson Liu who was one of the first in the US to be approved for this surgery in 2001. He did mine Tuesday in Westwood. He has done over 1900! Can the 1800 doctor honestly claim that? Google Dr.Liu and you will see his amazing background. He was named one of the best lap band doctors by Newsweek magazine, has numerous board certifications and his office and surgery center in only one of maybe 5 in the country that have been awarded the Center of Excellence Award for bariatric surgery. You can see him in Tustin or Westwood.

Hopes that insurance will approve my surgery
JYNX replied to Rachael's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
congratulations!! i am having my sleep study on the 12th and i am hoping for sleep apnea. sick, i know!! but, like you, my BMI is barely 35 and i fear that it will not be enough for my insurance to approve me. its good to know that i am not the only one that hoped for sleep apnea!!:drool: -
hey everyone! i have been driving myself crazy for the last couple of weeks wondering if i will be approved for the LAP-BAND®® and i was hoping i could get your guys' input. here are my stats: 5'2" 192 lbs 35 bmi 24 years old CIGNA PPO i have a family history of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cholesterol, and high blood pressure. i do not suffer of any of these myself (except obesity), but i do suffer from constant back, neck, knee, heel, pain and severe anxiety. this friday (oct 1st) i am having my pre-op test done and on the 12th i am having a sleep study. i have met with the surgeon, nutritionist, and psychologist, and have been approved by all of them. what do you think my chances are of being approved by CIGNA?
