I'm so disappointed. Its hard to even describe my feelings. I've been researching lapband for awhile; I met with a surgeon who thought I'd do great with the surgery; their office would do the insurance leg of things. Find out today that our employer does not carry bariatric surgery through insurance. That's it...end of discussion. There is no decision to even argue with. I can't believe it. I was so counting on this surgery. Paying out of pocket is not an option for me right now. I'm devastated.

Me too! And I have good insurance, a Blue Cross PPO plan. It didn't occur to me that my company wouldn't cover it. What are you going to do? I just found out today.
