many patients ask "how can i get lap-bandsurgery if i don't immediately qualify"? of course lap-band surgery is restricted to beingof a proper weight. in general it's usually from eighty to a hundred pounds overweight.but if measuring bmi's it's from thirty five to thirty nine point nine with comorbiditiesor over a bmi of forty. most insurance companies now cover weight loss surgery. if your policy'snot covered, does not cover weight loss surgery, then it would be good to check with your humanresource to see if it can not be provided by your employer. most insurance companiesrequire a medically supervised weight loss program that can be from three to six months,which also includes a psychiatric evaluation. should your insurance policy not cover bariatricsurgery, you may wish to check with your human
resources to see if this can not be includedby your provider. as a final resort of course, cash pay or financing can be available aswell.
