Hi All..i'm new to the forum and have an insurance question. I'm on pins and needles waiting for HR to get back to me on this, so I figured I'd ask y'all if you had any thoughts on the matter. My company's insurance contract has an exclusion for "treatment of weight reduction or obesity." I've read that the Band may still be covered, as I'm morbidly obese, and the treatment is not for weight reduction, but rather treatment for co-morbidities that my Dr. feels will arise. Has anyone had a similar experience? I would HATE to self-pay, but will do what I have to. THanks Maureen
