Question:
Lapband vs Rny too

I was reserching the best surgery for me and My sister told me about Lapband. Who performs this surgery? I don't think anyone in my area even does this procedure.    — dhogue (posted on February 3, 2002)

Alot of insurance companies don't cover the Lap band WLS. It is FDA approved now, but Cigna, for instance, stills considers it to be an experimental WLS. Best of luck to you in which ever WLS you choose:)
