Dr. Blackstone will be performing my surgery on 5/3.  I too am just a little nervous but mostly very anxious.  It has been a long haul just getting this far.

Welcome...you have chosen very well and you are in great hands.  One of her former associates actually did my surgery with Blackstone assisting but the office has been great, the program great and I would highly recommend them to anybody.  Best of luck to you.

I am currently waiting for a surgery date with Dr. Blackstone & am looking for others that are going to have her as their surgeon or have had her already.  I'm a little nervous but looking VERY forward to having this done!!

I can't say the company matters as much as the policy.  The policy must cover weight loss surgery.  Also please make sure the lap band is the right surgery for you.  There are lots of options out there. 

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on how I should go about searching for new insurance?
Anyone have any idea what insurance would be the best pick and least expensive in terms of extra preniums for someone who is obese?

I have checked a bit online and even had some things sent to me but it seems like specific weight cut offs for being denied or what you have to pay for a BMI above 30, for instance, aren't that easy to find.

I'd appreciate any help or response on this, and I'm really hoping I can find new insurance... I can't imagine not having health insurance,

Thanks,

Nia
