Greetings ! My name is Amanda. I am inquiring about WLS however, my insurance company (Cigna) has an exclusion to Bariatric Surgery. With this being sad I am pretty sure that they won't cover it even with medical letters and such? (right or wrong?) please correct me. So my next questions are should I change insurance companies? I see that some have BCBSTX or United Health Care and it's covered with of course evaluations and such. Would my best bet be to get an individual plan with the coverage or to try to save up as much as possible in the next year or so to do self pay? I've been researching for the past few months about weight loss surgeries and I feel it would be the best bet for me. I meet with a surgeon for a general consult on Dec 4th. Maybe he will be able to give insight? I don't want to get discouraged but the entire medical insurance in Texas is blowing my mind. Any good feedback would be great. Thanks for reading. -Amanda

I need to find out what are these hoops so I can jump too! Congrats ! How are you feeling

Ok ! Thanks. I will get on that letter. I have a consult with a Surgeon next week. Any tips? -Amanda
