Quote From: debra232006What state you live in, but here in Michigan my insurance covered it for me 5 yrs ago. I had my typical copays for office calls and scripts, but because I had medical necessity they paid for the entire surgery. Have you considered the lapband procedure? Would your insurance cover that? Have you contacted your insurance company yourself or been through the process to get denied? If you go with a reputable surgeon they will go to war for you with your insurance company to GET it covered! Have you contacted the American Red Cross? If they can't help you they may have other resources you can look into. Good luck, and I wish all the best Sweetie!
Hugs, Debra
Hi Debra.
I live in NC. I have checked with my insurance company and they do not cover any part of the surgery. I will have to contact the surgeon again to see what they can do for me. How have you done since your surgery?
Thanks,
Alice
