Band-It-Damn-It 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Hi there: Come in & admit the crazy things you did or thought of doing to get your insurance to pay for your lovely Lap Band... True Confession #1 I bought ankle weights to pack on the pounds... they looked ridiculous so I traded them in for diving weights... I have more confessions... let's swap! Yay!

Band-It-Damn-It 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Fine! Don't admit it! You can lie to everyone but you can't lie to yourself.... PS Diving weights rock! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ParrotheadCathy 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Nothing to confess. My insurance has a written exclusion for any weight loss surgery. When you have that, there is no way in hell to get them to cover it, period. I knew before I ever even talked to my PCP about lap band that it was out of my pocket.

tcbgirl 0 Posted August 18, 2009 I asked my pcp to send to to sleep study not knowing that I actually had apnea. It was a good thing since I am sleeping much better now and the insurance approved me for the band. Anissa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Band-It-Damn-It 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Sleep study would have been my 2nd option but I a tad bit hard to fake! Congrats on your band and your weight loss! What was your starting BMI? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
