Went to the introduction to lap band filled out papers to go forward and was told the committee decided that my insurance would not cover. I am type II diabetic with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and arthritis. I am 56 with a BMI of 33.Where do I go now can I get insurance to cover.I don't think they even called them

Do you have a True Results office near you? They did ALL the work for me and it was such a painless process. They have people in their office that THIS IS ALL THEY DO ALL DAY, EVERY DAY is argue with insurance companies and get their approval. I believe their website is www.trueresults.com

Good Luck! It worked for me!

I would go to another doctor and have them check. You have a lot of co-morbidities so I would think that you would qualify. The only thing that may be an issue is your BMI. There are websites to go to to check your weight and see where you fall on the chart. Don't give up, seek a second opinion. If your insurance declines find out why. If you do wind up paying your self you could possibly get a tax write off for expenses, check into that as well. Your doctor can probably tell you more with that. There is still hope. I hope it all works out for you.
