Oxford doesn't cover as of 8/17/09 - Due to insufficient clinical evidence to support medical efficacy, the following will not be reimbursed by Oxford: Gastric sleeve procedure (also known as laparoscopic vertical gastrectomy or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy) when done alone and not a part of the full operation to complete a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch

Sleeve Gastrectomy has its own CPT code for 2010!

It is true that not all United plans cover the surgery. It's open enrollment time, so I plan to switch insurance companies so that the surgery will be covered. I'm hoping to do all the pre-op testing in December and have the surgery in January with my new insurance.....I've scheduled my initial conversation with the surgeon for two weeks from now.....
