Each insurance compnay has there own set of criteria you have to meet.

If you go see a qualified Lap Band Surgeon, they will be aware of what you need to do to get pre-approval for the surgery.

You can probably look on line with you insurance company to see what they require, or you can find someone on here that has the same insurance that can guide you.

Good luck!

Where are you going to? I am also from Kentucky and looking to have this done at Central Baptist. I have Humana working for the state. They require you to do six months supervised dieting with your physician. You will need to get in contact with your insurance to make sure from the get go that you are following their guidelines. I cannot even see the surgeon until my fifth month into seeing the physician and they know that my insurance will pay.
