I have questions...

Just an idea but on the back of your health insurance card should be a customer service or information number you can call and you can specifically ask if they cover adjustable gastric band surgery and if so, what are the requirements to qualify. My insurance was Aetna and the phone representative let me know if my company's plan covered it, and then directed me to the web site page on the details of what the insurance requirements were. So, I always try to advise people to first find out if insurance covers it by talking directly to your own insurance company. I've seen a couple cases where folks went to the seminar at one weight loss center, fell in love with that program and were well into planning to have their surgery there, and then found that the only bariatric center of excellence on their plan wasn't the one they had been working with and they had to start over with the bariatric surgeon that was In-Network for them.
