Lap Band Removal

I am in need of getting my lap band removed, but do not have any insurance. Any suggestions or recommendations on who to contact?
This would all depend on where you are located. It seems any Bariatric doctor could do it. If you don't have insurance, they might have a payment plan. You might call the County hospital in your area for help. Good luck.
 
I would try county first. Medical necessity might get you a chance of getting it covered. Find a doctor who will go to bat for you and get it approved thru Medicaid. Good luck!
 
I had to fight for 2 years with Humana insurance to get my band removed. How long have you had the band and why remove it. Mine was great for 10 years but then got stuck every day trying to eat. Nearest surgeon for this was Las Vegas 1 1/2 hours away.
