About 1 800 GET THIN With dedication to helping obese persons, who may also suffer from obesity-related comorbid conditions, 1800 GET THIN, LLC launches campaigns to educate the general public about the medically-accepted alternatives to living with continued obesity. As the number of obese adults in California has more than doubled compared to just two decades ago, 1800GET THIN believes that learning about these medically-proven alternatives is a major step in changing this upward trend.
1800GETTHIN also communicates with prospective LAP-BAND® patients to see if they qualify for obesity-related benefits under their health insurance policy. Although there is documented success that obesity-related comorbid conditions, including sleep apnea, hypertension and diabetes can be eliminated with weight loss after LAP-BAND® surgery, some insurance companies still do not cover the treatment of these conditions with this surgery. However, if a patient suffers from liver problems, the treatments they need are covered under many health insurance policies. 1 800 GET THIN considers obesity as a health condition just as serious as any other acquired disease.
To provide more information to interested and pre-qualified LAP-BAND® patients, 1 800 GETTHIN supports LAP-BAND® seminars that are presented by independent LAP-BAND® surgeons, who can review the medical history of the patients and give them their recommendation on whether this surgery would be the right step for them.
