Need insurance that covers banding

Does anyone know where I can work part time that has insurance that covers lapband that I can get soon after hire? I have insurance but it is horrible. It only covers 50% or up to 5,000.00 lifetime after my deductible. I had breast reduction and it covered it all after my deductible. I think this is decrimation toward fat people, some lawyer should sue insurance companies. If they cover other surgerys 100% should be totally covered if it is nessary to improve your health.

Sounds like you have Humana employee insurance. Thats what I have and it sucks - I'm doing the band anyways. I making them pay the $5000. anyways - their coverage I think is made to keep you from doing it. My surgery is tomorrow. - best of luck to you.
