JanB23 23 Posted October 6, 2011 Travelling to Hawaii from Australia for 2 weeks at Christmas - do i need to pay the extra travel insurance to have my band covered. Is there anything that can go wrong that would require emergency surgery. I have had my band for over 12 months with no issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcee 3,342 Posted October 6, 2011 Always better to be safe than sorry. Especially as healthcare in the USA is so expensive. As far as I am aware it only costs an additional $60 for them to cover the band - at least that is what I was quoted earlier this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
