Most don't. And even if you find one, they will probably have a waiting period or some other exclusion. (ie: pre-existing conditions) After all, if wouldn't be cost effective for them if they paid out thousands after you only paid a premium or two. :(

My surgery was covered by BCBSTX. The policy was through my husband's employer so maybe the coverage was different.

Did you throw a fit about it to them? They misled you... Wonder if you can fight getting the correct coverage or getting out of the one they gave you

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
