Hello everyone! I am a fairly new OH support group leader and would like to invite you all to take a look at my online support group here on OH. I was banded on 12/3/2008 and have been an OH member since 5/2008. Oh has taught me so much and the people on the boards here are AWSOME! Everyone inspires and motivates me, which we all need. I invite you to take a look or join my online support group at the following link:  "On the lighter side" Remember though, I am still a little new at this. I am setting up a weekly or bi-weekly topic for discussions. Hope to see some of you!   Kristy
P.S The group is for all types of WLS, pre & post, or anyone just looking for info & support.

I'm so sorry to hear about your insurance doesn't cover WLS.  From what I've read on here, some insurances don't cover.  My only advice is call your surgeons office and ask them if they can help at all with finding out about Badgercare, etc.  I have Humana insurance and I can tell you that they paid for the majority of my surgery but I still owe the doc office over $2,000 and the hospital almost $2,000 so even with my insurance there is still out of pocket expenses.  I've heard from others that some doctors do the surgery and then include some free maintenance in there for the fills and such.  You may want to ask about that.
Also, go to the main lapband board on here and throw the question out there, you may get more advice.

Good luck and don't give up!!!
