Hey everyone! Quick question...
I am exploring the possibility of having Gastric Bypass--I just found out that my insurance DOES cover this procedure (80%)--this was a great relief.
However, I noticed one of the requirements for my insurance is "a diagnosed case of morbid obesity for 5 years from a physician". This is concerning because I haven't been to a regular primary physician in several years. Asides from being morbidly obese (my current BMI is 55), I have been very "healthy" and haven't needed to go to a doctor.
Question--will this be a "deal breaker" for my insurance because there's no way I have this since I haven't been to a doctor in over 5 years.
I appreciate everyone's input!
