My husband just found out that his company offers an insurance carrier THAT PAYS FOR LAP-BAND! If he had known we could have signed up for it next January but we didn't and so I'm having the surgery in 2 days and we're self-pay. Now he's really depressed and I'm thinking how all that money could have gone so many other places:omg: that puts extra pressure on me to make it all worthwhile --- life is a bummer, it just never stops! Wouldn't it be nice if insurance companies would keep pace with available treatments instead of working so hard to find ways of raising premiums for less coverage? Sorry for venting my frutration, my husband was kind of a pickle when he found out.... Rett:rolleyes

You should find out when the next open enrollment in the insurance plan is. Most companies offer this once a year or more. It might be possible to switch and get the operation paid for.
