I am considering getting the lap band and called my insurance and they said the surgery will be covered. They said I have to meet the following conditions.

2 years of employment- I will have 2 years on April 14th.

BMI of 35 to 40 with two conditions or BMI over 40 with no conditions- I have a BMI of about 36.

2 weight related conditions- I have high BP, depression, back aches and pains, and I may have sleep apnea. I mean I am so tired everyday no matter how much I sleep at night.

But my insruance will cover it 100% with a 150.00 copay and each fill will cost 15.00 copay.

wow lucky you get your sleep study done just because you will feel so much better. Hope everything goes well for you. Double check all of the insurance requirements most still require a period of medically supervised weight loss. Good luck to you!

I have United Healthcare. Can anyone tell me there experiences with this company? I have the PPO plan. I talked to them and they seemed really nice and helpful.

Also the lady says my plan does not require a weight history.
