CLARIFICATION OF PREVIOUS QUESTION

Since I was rushing, I didn't realize what I wrote!! Sorry about that!. I do know the difference between the two surgeries. I have been to both seminars about a year ago. I did not proceed because I had horrible insurance. Now, I have new insurance and am starting to think about proceeding. My concerns: With the bypass, I have always said I don't think it is a good idea to mess with nature. With the lap band: I am not sure I will like a port in me that I will have to be concerned with for the rest of my life either. Confused and not sure how to determine what I want for me??? I am going to another lap band seminar on 1/26/05. I do have another question? My new insurance is UHC ppo. Now, I recently called and I found out I do not have WLS coverage. However, I have been told by many to proceed anyway and let the doctor's office I choose do their thing to get it approved. Does anyone have any experience with UHC ppo? Now, I do not have any co-morbidities in which I take medication for, but I do have some. Plus, my BMI is 44. Thanks to all of you for taking time to assist me. It is very appreciated. Take Care~ Kelli
