Is any insurance easier to get approved than BCBS?

[Teachingmom 3]

I'm looking to change insurance policies due to BCBS only allowing 1 WLS per policy. Since I had the lap band I can't have another procedure. I only had to have it removed because of leak. I loved having it!

I thought Aetna was pretty easy - but I don't know if they restrict you to only one surgery. I don't think so because I have known others who have switched from LapBand to sleeve.

I was in a different situation then you, BCBS would not approve me because I had a lower bmi. It was a fight but persistence paid off and I got sleeved. Maybe if you keep fighting them they will come around like they did for me. Good luck
