State of Georgia and WLS

 Is it true that state of Georgia is going to start back covering WLS.  I hope it is true husband want to have surgery now.

Martina, I have not heard this.  I do HR at our office and have not received anything from State Health about this.

I wish they would too.  I have several friends that would love to take advantage of this.

 Linda,

I pray that this is true.  A friend who also work with the state told me this and I hope it is true.  Since I had surgery a lot of my co workers want to have surgery.  I would be so excited.  If they offer it I want to be able to get my husband started on the pre opt stuff.

It looks like it's true!

They've added it back into the SHBP budget. Good luck to all of you, surgery changed my life.

 Surgery changed my life also.  Because my husband sees the benifits of the surgery he now wants to have WLS and I am so happy that he will be able to.  Thanks for this information.

Oh my gosh. I'm so happy to see this post. I work for a school system in Ga. and found out tonight that the state health plan via UHC no longer covers lapband surgery. Hopefully, I'll be able to start my journey in Jan. 2013 after all. :)
