I had Lap Band 4-16-08 and my insurance required different criteria than others, you have to find out what the requirements are for your certain insurance. I had Medicare.
There is a website site that tells you about the Lap Band and it is LapBandSolutions.com, I don't remember if it tells you all the requirements or not. Find a Weight Loss Doctor and find out what his office requires...like I said, all insurance companies are different and require different things and the bariatric doctor's office can, if they take your insurance...Good Luck, you will love the Band...I am down 30 pounds....
