State employees in SC are denied coverage for WLS under the self-insured state health plan. We are attempting to start a letter-writing advocacy campaign in an attempt to get this changed. Just because you are not a state employee doesn't mean you can't have an opinion or a voice on this! Check out this link:
OAC to see what you can do to help. We are in the process of composing a letter to all of our representatives and recruiting people to help us get our voices heard. Anyone interested in helping can email me at
moonchyld70@yahoo.com. Please, SC, step up and help us get coverage for all state employees who otherwise may not be able to ever have the advantage we have had with this valuable tool of the Lap Band!
