Need insurance that covers banding



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can work part time that has insurance that covers lapband that I can get soon after hire? I have insurance but it is horrible. It only covers 50% or up to 5,000.00 lifetime after my deductible. I had breast reduction and it covered it all after my deductible. I think this is decrimation toward fat people, some lawyer should sue insurance companies. If they cover other surgerys 100% should be totally covered if it is nessary to improve your health.

Sounds like you have Humana employee insurance. Thats what I have and it sucks - I'm doing the band anyways. I making them pay the $5000. anyways - their coverage I think is made to keep you from doing it. My surgery is tomorrow. - best of luck to you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
