Would yall consider the Lap Band prcedure a "weight loss program"?

It is definitley NOT a diet!!!

It is a surgical procedure that will alter the way you eat, a Lifestyle Change!

The term "Program" would only relate to the schedule you follow going through pre and post op diets and learning how to eat all over again.

Once that is done, you live your life day to day without even thinking about the band, or any program you may or not believe you're part of.

Well my employer is considering the lap band a "program" and programs are not covered. What is covered is a full bypass.

Would yall consider the Lap Band prcedure a "weight loss program"?

No, lapband is weightloss surgery, not a program. It's major surgery with general anesthesia. It's a device wrapped around an internal organ. ....................not even close to being a "program"

I know what the procedure is, but I can't belive they consider it a weight loss program! Has anybody else ran into this?
