Hello, can anyone tell me if Cobra pays for the Lap Band and if so what is it I need to do to get things started? Also do you have to be in Cobra for sometime for them to pay ?

COBRA is not an insurance policy, it's just a law that lets you continue your EXISTING coverage if you lose your eligibility through your job. Whatever insurance you have now is exactly what you will have if you continue it under COBRA. The only difference is that you will be paying the premiums.

So, who is your insurance carrier?
