Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Welcome! I have not heard of that insurance. I work with a lot of insurances too. Did you have to do anything pre-op? Like follow a doctor controlled diet or anything like that? If so you shouldn't have any trouble. Good luck with it. P.S. Not to scare you too much but stop pulling your hair out now because after surgery you will lose plenty of it. Let us know when you hear.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I think I have seen a card or two with it but I have no idea if they cover it or not. Best thing to do is call them and ask if they cover WLS. I have noticed that alot of insurance companys now are paying for this surgery. Unless it clearly states they wont cover it what so ever most are not paying but are making you met certian critera. |

| Hello Nikki! Hello and Welcome! AH, those magic words, "you are approved". What a feeling for you, when that happens. I know the month of waiting for me was pure HELL. When I finally did receive the notification in the mail, I think my heart skipped a beat or two. Wait a minute, it always did that. lol I hope that everything goes quickly for you, and you are on your way to a happier, and healthier Nikki. Good Luck with everything. mike |
