A member asked:
What do you suggest if i'm 41 years old, height is 5 ft 4 inches and weigh 185 lbs. should i get a lap band?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Criteria for LAP: Your bmi is about 32 which is considered obesity. If you don't have any risk factors than many insurance co. Wouldn't cover it. If you bmi > 35 many insurance co would cover even if you didn't have any risk factors. However diet and exercise must have been tried and failed before you can be considered for the lap.
