Hello I have aetna and I asked that question. My dr said because i have the history of always being overweight and obese and my bmi was 48 i would still qualify even if i went under bmi. My dr said we would work something out to make sure I qualify! Good luck!

Hi everyone! I am having my surgery in March of next year. My insurance company allows me to have the dietary 6 month wait with my surgeon that is going to do the surgery! My surgeon has everyone I need to see so thankfully that wont be a problem! I am so frustrated and fed up with primary physicians trying to push there diet program on you where they want you to take the shots and pills! hello! Ive been overweight my whole life have done that for most of my life and i am still obese! I cant wait for my surgery! But the wait will be so worth it! Good Luck to everyone and all i can say is thank goodness for insurance!
