A fue weeks ago I called my insurance company because i had some questions to ask them about me being intersted in going for RNY and some other doctor appt. I had to take care of. Well the moment i mentioned I was considering going for RNY. The woman stoped me and tells me " well i will tell you i was going for it and let me tell you. You need a lot of documentation and you need this and that and they denied me" well mine me but I was thinking "why the **** do i care what you think and i will make shore i have the documentation and this and that !" JUST AMSWER MY ?'s so at the time i was a little mad.

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.

Yeah, it's a bugger having to jump through the insurance hoops, but do get it done and put the woman of the insurance co in her place.

Just make sure you have all your papers in order prior to submitting to insurance. Good luck I went with Tricare Prime and they paid for mine

LOL you go girl ! You have to stay on top of them. Do me a favor ok next time you call UnitedHealth Care and speak to them, if they get rude ask to speak to a supervisor that is well educated in the Baratric Field. Then make her tell you the guidlines and if you have a benefit for it. Write it down! The names. The day. The Times. Relay it all back to your Drs. office and let them work on them a while.

Ash- do you have tricare at all because I have noticed its not near as hard to get approved as with some other companies? Being a military spouse you should beable to get it covered by tricare. And wow on the rude lady, sometimes people just dont know how to act
