I had United Health Care when I got my band. I've changed jobs since then, and I now have Aetna. I'm looking at going back for my first fill/follow-up since getting this insurance. How likely is it that Aetna will cover lap-band-related things? I'm terrified that I'll go for an appointment and then find out none of it is covered. I want to take care of myself, but money is tight, and I just don't have a lot for out of pocket expenses.

You need to call your ins company or go to Aetna.com and log in to look at your benefits. I have Aetna and the surgery was not covered, however, it was written in as an exclusion by the company my husband works for, not Aetna. It all depends on what is in your policy.
