Its unlikely your insurance will cover a minor - but call me for more information about saving money by having her surgery at our clinic with Dr. Ortiz - he has lots of experience banding teens. It will cost you just over 1/2 of the price you quoted.
You can try to have your daughter become part of a study for Lap band for teens like i did. The surgery is free as long as you agree to follow up with the surgeon doing the study. I guess different places do it differently, but the study i agreed to paid for everything including post-surgery tests and adjustments afterwards.
