  1. Hip bursitis a factor for insurance approval???

    millyInKy posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    I have chronic bursitis of the hip and feel certain that losing weight would help my condition. I was wondering if any of you have hip bursitis or have had in the past and if having this condition helped get approved by insurance. I am 5'9" and 260 pounds and unable to exercise due to hip. I feel that banding is my only hope of getting this weight off and regaining my health and mobility again. Any info you can share w/ me would be great. I am new to this whole process....haven't seen a doc yet but am ready to take necessary steps. Just wondered if hip would improve my chances of approval.
