    Thank you for the tip! I also found the Forum on Insurance, it's been very helpful.

  5. Insurance Coverage

    roangirl posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Hi, I am considering the Lap Band. I am going to a seminar in two days. I was wondering about insurance coverage for the band. My insurance doesn't specifically say it covers the surgery, the physician group putting on the seminar say they advocate for the patient to get the insurance to cover the surgery based on medical necessity, i.e. diabetes, apnea, etc. Any input on the subject?
