Hello,

I am trying to get the lap band procedure done but my insurance declined it even as a medical necessity. They said my employer blocked obesity procedures from police. Has anyone experienced this? Was there a way to dispute it?

Many employers block access to bariatric surgery but I don't understand the police comment? What do the police have to do with WLS?

If your insurance plan has no bariatric provision you will have to pay for it yourself. Sorry.

I wonder if they meant to say from the "policy"?

Sorry. I meant policy. Lol. Well. I am considering an option for surgery in Mexico. I researched weightlossagents.com. Did anyone hear any good or bad things about that?

I would try to arrange something near where you live, and ongoing care and support are very important.

Lucky I had insurance but mine cost $37,000 for out patient in Cottage hospital in Santa Barbara. So a cash deal would still cost $16-18000.
