Alexandra 55 Posted October 23, 2005 You can get a good idea of the different issues people have faced with their insurers by browsing some of the old threads on the site. It's impossible to tell you which companies always cover the surgery, because all companies make decisions based on individual medical situations. Certainly there are carriers that are more band-friendly or less band-friendly, but so much depends on your own circumstances that generalizations are pointless. Which carriers are available to you?

patty103 0 Posted October 24, 2005 cigna wouldn't not approve mine although BCBS of Tenn did (finally). I heard Cigna wanted a 6 month medically supervised diet. And still don't sometimes. go to obesity help.com and check under insurers, you can check all the different insurances in you area. people with United Health don't seem to have a problem..
