Chase Bank--Chances are SO slim....

[bandedhope 0]

I know the chances are SOOO slim... but thought I would ask if anyone on here works for Chase Bank??? That is who my insurance is through and I just wish I knew someone who had gotten it done with Chase Insurance! I am worried about being too young (21) and my BMI being right at 40... Guess you can just say I want this soooo bad and I am so scared I will be denied...

I'm 22 and my BMI is 44, but most insuarances want ur BMI to be 40 or more some will even do 35 or more w/health probems like diabetes and what not. All you can do is give it ur best. The surgery centers where I live wont take my insuarace (Tricare) because they don't pay them back enough. So I am having to self pay...I went and got a CareCredit card...It's worth it to try....do what you can to get ur surgery approved, good luck

Same problem in Canada, weight loss surgery is not covered yet by OHIP, which I thing wrong especially for people with BMR 40 or up where the surgery is something to safe live not to improve the body's shape, however I think you still find some institutions that help you to fund the surgery ask your lap band clinic about that.

I was just curious...if your BMI is only 28 why are you looking at have a Lapband? Isn't 28 a pretty good place to be...I don't know....just wondering...

Yep I am still only overweight not obese I think, but surrounded with a lost of obese friends those keep talking about weight loss methods starting from weight watcher programs and ending with complicated surgery such as gastric bypass ... so I want to know more about these stuff.

I'm in Canada too, so had to pay for the lapband myself. Best decision I ever made... it has saved my life! No matter how much stress I have, and I'm a stress eater!!!, my band saves me from binging. I've been banded for over a year and have lost almost 75 lbs so far. I still have a ways to go, but I feel so much better now.

As for paying for the band... I financed it at a high interest rate! It cost me way too much, so have recently paid this off through the Cash Leverage System... check it out.

Good Luck!
