Best of luck to you, Eva! Does your insurance company have a website? Do you know for a fact that your insurance company covers weight loss surgery and what particular type? If so, you should be able to pull up a list of dr. names. But always double check with your insurance company before doing anything. Also, once you get dr. names, call them direct and verify they take your insurance.

Hey Eva!

I'm also in Tennessee, just a little north of you

I have BC/BS of TN and they would not pay for the lapband.

There's a Bariatric group at Centennial Medical Center that you could call, or Dr. Morton at Southern Hills. There's also a group at Williamson Medical Center (I believe) that performs Bariatric surgery, but not sure about the lapband.

You might also want to try Dr. Ponce in Georgia. Or if you're like me and strike out, you could always go to Mexico, the doctor's are very good and the price is a lot less.

Good luck to you!!
