Hi all! Just wanted to let everyone know what a great job Dr. McBrides office did with the Appeals Process. Each hurdle that was presented by the insurance company, was met with a response from Dr. McBride. For anyone that is in the grey area for their BMI (less than 40), do some research as there are a number of journal studies out there which show that the lapband is appropriate. Also make sure that you have a good medical history taken or established in your medical records. In my case my mother and paternal aunt both had strokes and breast cancer in their late 30's. Its the little details that help. Thank you to everyone that sent me messages of support!
