It sounds like the state health plan for GA is going to discontinue coverage of bariatric surgery in 2012...

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
