Hi, you need to see your surgeon to find out what is going on. Good luck. Mona

Not sure on Tom White but Dr. Anthone does do revisions but they are on a case by case. Doesn't hurt to see if he will, but will warn you that his staff suck at sending correct infomration to your insurance for approval. Also revisions throught the throat, no good, dont waste the money from what I have heard.

Thank you for the kind words Shelly. See you at support group.

Hi everyone!  I've been trying to do research in regards to if Medicaid here in Nebraska will cover the lapband.  I keep finding that yes they do, but they require a bunch of extra stuff before approval - but have not had great luck with finding what is required.

Who here has gone through the approval process with Medicaid?  What did it involve?  How difficult was it for you to get approval?

I'm 21 years old, my BMI is 38, and I'm pushing 80 pounds overweight.  I've been overweight since I was in elementary school, have been diagnosed with both asthma and depression - both after I was overweight.  I've hit the point that I know I need to do something different - diet alone isn't working, and even just going for walks is hard on my asthma at this point.  I have an 11 month old little boy who I'm raising alone - I need to make changes so that I can be the best mother I can be for him.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
