insurance approval

Hi,

 Can anyone help me please? I wanted to undergo lap band surgery, I weight 191 lbs and have a severe sleep apnea but when I sign up  for online  request more information about lap band in a one hospital in Wisconsin..I received a call  a woman from that hospital explaining things to me and told me that I'm not qualified cause my insurance only covered a bmi above 40...I don't really know what to do, I'm very frustrated can someone please help me? It sound to me that she don't coordinate much more to my insurance please help?

Thanks,

fhel

Do you know if in fact your insurance requires the bmi of 40? Most insurance companies will take a bmi of 35-39.9 with co morbidities.  I would call the insurance company. Good luck!

Ofelia, have you had your surgery yet?  If not, are you still going with the Band?
