I have Aetna HMO, and I want to get the Lap-Band proceedure. I am new to this and have no idea how I get the ball rolling.... Please help!

I'd recommend finding out if your particular policy covers the lapband procedure first. Call the member number on your insurance card, and they should be able to answer that question. Depending on how the insurance policy is written, bariatric surgery can be excluded from coverage. Hopefully, it is covered and you can get started by talking to your primary care physician. She or he could recommend a specialist (bariatric surgeon) or you can check out docFinder on Aetna's website to see what bariatric doctors are near you. Good luck on your journey!
