This patient support community is for discussions relating to lap band surgery for weight loss, complications, finding a surgeon, whether it is right for you, nutrition, recovery, risk, and pre- and post-op issues.
What I have found is that every insurance seems to have very different requirements for pre-approval so it could very likely be true. Your primaryPrimary amyloidosis Primary biliary cirrhosis Primary hyperparathyroidism Primary insomnia Primary lymphoma of the brain could be one and the weight loss surgeon could be the second. Have you met with a surgeon yet? They are really good at helping you through all of the insurance requirements. I had the lap-band but it was quite a process for either type of weight loss surgery. I hope it works out for you.
