If you can prove its affecting your life medically, physically or psychologically, they may cover it. Just telling them won't do it, you'll have to go to a doctor and prove it.

I also have Aetna but they covered the band I am surprised to hear your story. So sorry they didn't cover it for you.

I don't regret any decision in my life because at the end I will make it work

I am having a tt and boob lift... its about 12k but they will be done together. My Dr wont do my thighs... he said its medically too risky so I am walking alot. LOL And my arms... I think I can live with them too. They say thats a long recovery time.

Most insurance companies WILL NOT touch it. However, there is an awesome hospital in Mexico that comes highly recommended, I know 4 people recently and a fifth getting done in June. about 25% of what it costs here, beautiful resort, husband can go and enjoy. They pick you up at San Deigo airport.....http://hospitaljerusalem.com.mx/ My fgriend had both her sleeve and skin done there. I am going in September.....payments through paypal so it is all guaranteed. American doc too....

It all depends on your insurance. Your best chance of getting approved is having at least 100 pound weight loss and 6 months of doctor documented rashes due to the excess skin.
