I was checking on forum and most people say insurance payed for Lapband but was it 100% cause I talked to my insurance and I think they only going to cover 80% but im not sure... I dont see my doctor till Nov 26.

Another question... They said when I see doctor i will need to complete couple test.... so how long does it take to complete and when will they talk to my insurance company?

Hi Antsmith; well my ins. only paid 80% although I could of sworn it was gonna be 100%. I started my journey in January and got surgery in June.

I was kinda mad because they said that it would be a 3-4 months turn around but since I had gained 10lbs during that time, my doctor (with his nice self) said that he wasn't gonna do it until I can lose it!!! well I lost it and the rest if history and I love it, love it, love it!!!

so did you have to pay the 20% up front or in monthly? cause thats alota money to get right away but i know its worth it.

Thanks for info... I like to have information before hand then getting shocked at doctor office

Thanks Goodtime...

I'm just little worried cause 20% of 15-20k, is little expensive to just pull out of pocket and pay. Well appointment in couple weeks so ill find out then
