Does anyone have Highmark PPO Blue of Pennsylvania and know if Lapband is covered by this plan? :help:

In our area of PA I think I heard that Highmark was now covering the Lapband procedure but you will have to call and check your individual policy. I am sending you hope in your endeavors.

Hi I have BC/BS NJ (Horizon) I just found out today I was approved! My dr. office sent everything in on Wed. and they said it had been approved since Monday but today is Thursday and I called and asked because no one told me I was approved.

Anyway Aug. 13th is my bandday!

JennyD,

I have seen people talk about the shoulder pain also. If anyone can help me out here, when does this usually happen? I was banded on the 26th of July and feel great so far . How long after the operation does this usually happen and is it from the gas?

Hi Butterfly they say that it is cause by the gas that they blow the chest cavity with. If it hasnt happend yet it most likely wont.
