When you call 800 Get Thin you can receive a free Insurance Verification and a free reservation to a LAP-BAND® seminar located at one of several locations throughout Southern California. One of the determining factors in insurance verification is your BMI or Body Mass Index, which is a number calculated from your specific weight and height.  This number is used to see where you place on an obesity range scale. If your BMI is above 40 it is possible that your health insurance company will cover the LAP-BAND® procedure. If your BMI is between 35 and 40, and you also suffer from 2 or more obesity-related health problems, such as diabetes type-2 or cardiac issues, you could also qualify for insurance coverage for the LAP-BAND© surgery.

800 Get Thin has connected thousands of people who suffer from obesity to a weight loss specialist.  It all starts with a simple and free phone call.  Helping people lose weight and curb the obesity rate in California are the main goals of 800 Get Thin.  Call today and learn the details on how you can lose weight and live a healthier life.
