Insurance coverage is really difficult to decipher. for example Blue Cross Blue shield will cover it but Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas won't. I don't know of an efficient way to even do a search. Most will cover it if certain conditions like BMI are met. Sorry i can't be of more help.

I know my surgeon has one that meets 2x a month on Thursdays and Saturdays.  Call Kansas City Bariatric and ask about them

Topic: Insurance Help.

We are going to be paying for insurance out of our own pocket. Is there a insurance company that pays for WLS or is there a special policy I can buy?

Hi Niccole - I just had my revision surgery at SMMC with Dr. Hoen.  I had my RNY in 2006 and lost 92 lbs, regained up to 60 pds, lost 20 so now my goal is 50 lbs.  Honestly can't believe I am doing this again!!! Kept saying Low Carb is so much easier and you can EAT!  What is your story?

Hello.. I am just starting Pre Op with Tallgrass and I am wanting info on Dr. Bersten. I heard she is very good for the lap bpd/ds!!! i am going to the seminar in march...any suggestions???

 

That is who I'm thinking of going to also.  I have lap band right now and it's terrible, I'm hoping to have the DS next year and have been trying to research more on Dr. Bernstein.  Did you end up getting the surgery?

I know this is a bit late but I just joined the site. KUMEDWEST (435 and Midland Dr.) the first Tuesday of the month from 6-7 is the sleeve\bypass group.  It's excellent and open to all!
