Weight Watchers introduced a brand new program on November 29, 2010 called Points Plus, which has been shown to be even more effective than their former program that was in place over 12 years. Points Plus was developed based on new weight loss scientific research and promotes an even healthier lifestyle.

JourneyLite

Humana and JourneyLite team up to offer plan members special pricing on obesity surgery.

JourneyLite is a state licensed ambulatory surgery center that specializes in gastric banding weight loss surgery. Humana has recently teamed up with JourneyLite to offer a special self-pay price on weight loss services including gastric banding. The special price offers Humana plan members a single price for the spectrum of gastric banding services at JourneyLite including pre-operative services, surgical services, education, counseling, and two years of post-operative care and support.

All Humana members can now benefit from this special price by presenting their Humana ID card at JourneyLite's surgery center in Evendale. Members must be deemed a suitable candidate for obesity surgery by one of JourneyLite's Bariatric surgeons. Humana strongly recommends members consult with their primary care physician prior to and while undergoing any weight loss program. Learn more about JourneyLite and its new partnership with Humana.

JourneyLite offers free informational seminars about surgical options, weight-loss surgery risks and benefits, and what your life may be like after surgery. For more information visit JourneyLite's website at www.journeylite.com, or contact JourneyLite of Cincinnati at 513-259-2555.
