1 800 GET THIN Locations

1 800 GET THIN believes that obesity is a serious medical condition and is just as serious as other acquired diseases. Many insurance companies cover the treatments for patients who have liver problems caused by excessive alcohol consumptions, or patients who have lung cancer as a result of smoking. Many insurance companies do not cover the treatment of sleep apnea, hypertension, diabetes and other obesity related comorbid health conditions with LAP BAND surgery. This is despite the fact that there is documented success of elimination of these conditions with weight loss as a result of LAP-BAND surgery. 1 800 GET THIN, therefore, communicates with prospective LAP-BAND patients to review their health insurance policies and determine whether they have any obesity related benefits under their policies.
