Hey, Amy!

On another thread, Alex said not to give up on Aetna. if you have any of the following, Aetna DOES cover LapBand:

1. Hepatic cirrhosis with elevated liver function tests; or

2. Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis); or

3. Radiation enteritis; or

4. Demonstrated complications from extensive adhesions involving the intestines from prior major abdominal surgery, multiple minor surgeries, or major trauma; or

5. Poorly controlled systemic disease (American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) Class IV).
