Are there any health insurances that still pay for bariatric surgeries such as Lapband or the gastric bypass?

Answer 1

Yes, I had Cigna and I got the gastric by pass, then I started working for another company and we had United and they did pay for the surgery. Just check with your insurance company. I suggest that you get the lap band not the gastric bypass.The lap band you will only be out of work for about a week. I had the gastric bypass 5 yrs ago and I was out of work for 6 weeks and well I did lose the weight but I am fat again, with the lap band if you start to gain weight the doctor can tighten it. Good luck and if you need more help go to obesityhelp.com this is an excellent web site.
