My  insurance company will not even allow me to go through the initial program before lap band surgery because I am not diabetic. They claim also that they don't cover bariatric surgery, but have actually already approved my co-worker. WE HAVE THE SAME POLICY!!!!! My Dr. has gone back and coded me as diabetic because I am insulin resistant, which he says is the same thing. Well, God has the final say so, and I know he will see me through, but if anyone has any advise, I would love to hear it!  Thanks everyone!

I think that most insurance companies don't even cover the nutritionist expenses anyway.  None that I know of ......

I have blue cross and had to pay out of pocket (80/20 is my insurance ) for all the test before my RNY.
