  1. Looking for medical insurance in Northern California

    Elain posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I live in Northern California. I'm about 120 pounds overweight. I am self employed. I am searching for medical insurance that would pay for my lap band surgery. These are my questions: (1) What insurance companies usually approve of lap band surgery? (2) Should I join Weight Watchers so that there is a record of me attending classes and for how long should I attend? (3) Once I have medical insurance, when should I start asking my doctor about having the surgery
