I was required to do 6 consecutive months of supervised diet visits with my pcp or surgeon, nutritional counselling, psych clearance, and 6 consecutive months support group visits.

Other insurances do not require nearly as much.

I am curious why your insurance only covers the band? This is very unusual? Most will cover band and rny.

Do you mind sharing your insurance and employer?

I am not familliar at all with Coventry. The best thing to do is call the 800# on the back of your card for the reqwuirements. Make sure you follow them and don't miss any appts. That will make you have to start the whole process over.

Thank you I have already called thats how I know about Lapband being covered its kind of funny cause I had called them back in Feb. and they told that weight loss surgery was not covered. I did not even think about checking to see if the Lap band was not until the other day.Sometimes Im just not very smart

Well thats great/ So many people are denied any surgery at all. I still think if they cover band they should cover rny too. Double check to see if they have added other options.
