    Lap band surgery may be covered by many different companies but it will depend upon the plan and what state you live in. Both individual and group policies may cover lap band.
    In most cases you must have a BMI of 40 or greater to be a candidate for lap band. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but individual policies have a height and weight guideline. If you are a candidate for lap band you will be out of those guidelines and will be declined.

    My son has Blue Cross Blue Shield and they cover Gastric Bypass, has to do weight loss program but they do cover it. You didn’t say if it was thru your work. Most work Insurance doesn’t cover it.
