hello i have a question regarding coverage for citigroup employees in texas with aetna......im currently employed somwhere else and my current job is with aetna and covers the band, but im worried that when i start with citi group....they might require me to work there a certain amount of time, and i have already been going to my monthly visitis......i would really appreciate it if anyone who works at citi who had the surgery or knows a citi employee who had the surgery if one the company covers the procedure, and two if u have to be employed for a certain period of time....luckily benefits start day one...but i dont know about citi's restrictions and allowances when it comes to the lap band..thanks yall!

I am currently a Citi employee and had the surgery on 3/18/09. Since your coverage starts on day 1, you should be ok, there was no issues with Citi, i just had to work with the insurance company for approval. I believe the insurance is different from state to state. Once you pick an insurance company i would give them a call to find out what they require.
