You should be in very good shape with that insurance, plusizeteen. The important question is whether you are medically qualified for surgery--are you diagnosed with morbid obesity? Then you have to see what your contract says about bariatric surgery and weight loss treatment; does it cover treatment for people who have that diagnosis?

Yes. My insurance covers surgery for the morbidly obese. Yes. At the age of seventeen I'm under the morbidly obese category, and my insurance made the suggestion last summer that I should look into it.
