thinneranniesoon 0 Posted April 17, 2009 ok, so this is a long time coming. I am new to this site, but everyone seems so friendly. In 2003 I started looking into RNY. I had completed every step required by Humana at the time, including multiple telephone calls to them to be sure it was covered, well 5 days before the surgery date, it was cancelled. NO COVERAGE. I was upset to say the least, had just finalized my divorce a couple days later, and let the ball drop. Fast forward after 4 years with no health insurance, I do have coverage now, AND it covers bariatric. I have continued to do research all these years, and have decided the lapband is the way to go. I was able to find all my paperwork from 2005 and emailed the dr office last night to find out what i have to do in order to start over. and I was actually called this morning and given an appt with the surgeon on Monday for a consult. I am so happy you can't understand. OF COURSE... the policy I have now is with Aetna and ends May 1, we have a new policy with United HealthCare that will start on May 1, and it will also cover the lapband. At least I can get started and use Aetna for the first appt and whatever else I can before the UHC starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
