Have you called your insurance company to determine if the lap band is covered? If you attend a seminar they will have information available for almost all insurance company requirements. Once the requirements are complete you will then be able to submit the paperwork for medical review by your insurance company. Its a lot easier to have all your ducks in a row before you submit it to the insurance company. Its very difficult to fight a denial.

My surgeon provided me with a list of criteria that would be required by United Healthcare, and the list states that UHC will require two documented medically supervised diets, which you have failed to lose weight. One the the diets must be within the last 12 months. Has this been your experience in dealing with UHC to get approval for the lap band?
