1 800 GET THIN Billboards

1 800 GET THIN communicates with prospective LAP-BAND patients in order to review their insurance policy for obesity-related benefits. 1 800 GET THIN believes that obesity is a serious medical problem, and it is just as serious as any other acquired disease. Despite the fact that the treatments needed for a person who is suffering from lung cancer as a result of years of smoking are covered under many insurance policies, the same is not always true for the treatments of sleep apnea, hypertension or diabetes. Treatments of these conditions and many other obesity-related comorbid health conditions with LAP BAND surgery are not covered by many insurance companies, although there is documented success in elimination of these conditions with weight loss following LAP-BAND surgery.
