Best & Worst Insurance for Lap Band in California???

My business is providing a group insurance policy (California) for our employees as of 4/1/09. I'm the owner, so I get to choose which policy we go with!

I'd like to bypass all the red tape and have Lap Band surgery ASAP. Which Insurance carrier/plan do you suggest???

A little background...

I'm 42 and have struggled with my weight since I was 12. Since then, I've rarely been at a healthy weight. In fact, I've been at an unhealthy weight for over ten years now. I've tried every diet imaginable, weight loss camps/spas, a psychological program called Dietless. Nothing has worked. The process has left me demoralized. The only hope I can see is through surgery.

Thanks,

Frank
