Does any one know if there is an independent insurance that covers lapband. I have insurance with my company but it does not cover lapband or any other stomach surgery. Is there any place that does financing?

I Ginger Welcome. Just an FYI something to think about , If you are on a group health insurance plan , i dont know about your state but In TX where I live I cant GET private Health insurance now because of the band .

We are self employed , I also looked at plans to cover the band and they are not out there as far as i know . NOW that im banded NO ONE WILL TOUCH Me except the high risk health pool offered by the state of Texas and I pay $400 a month for JUST ME .

So if you have a group plan it would be a good idea to stay on it .

There are places that finanance.

I got mine financed through medicredit.com

CareCredit Patient financing Payment Plans for LASIK, cosmetic procedures, dental, hearing care, vet procedure financing and more.

Cosmetic Surgery, Dental Procedures, Vision Costs and more: Healthcare Financing

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Also if you can get a loan from your bank , they interest rates would be lower.

do a search for "self pay " Or financing and it will bring up a ton of threads
