About 1 800 GET THIN With dedication to helping obese people, 1800 GET THIN, LLC creates marketing campaigns to educate people about medically-proven alternatives to living with obesity. As the recent numbers show, the rate of obese adults in California is now more than twice this rate 20 years ago. By educating the general public about alternatives to a continued obesity lifestyle, 1 800 GET THIN believes it takes a major step in reversing the upward trend of obesity.
Also, 1800GET THIN communicates with prospective LAP-BAND® patients to analyze their insurance policy for obesity-related benefits. 1800GETTHIN considers obesity a health conditions just as serious as any other acquired disease. Although obese persons are at higher risk of developing obesity-related comorbid conditions and there is documented success in elimination of these conditions following weight loss with LAP-BAND® surgery, some insurance companies still refuse to cover their treatment with LAP-BAND®.
As another step to provide more information to pre-qualified LAP-BAND® patients and those who are interested in this surgery, 1 800 GETTHIN sponsors LAP-BAND® seminars, presented by independent certified LAP-BAND® surgeons. In these seminars the independent medical doctor can review each patient’s medical history and come to a better recommendation as to whether this surgery would be right for them, and also answer any questions about LAP-BAND® surgery.
