I want to know who's insurance covered the surgery for those who have a bmi over 42 and no comorbidities. I have a BMI of 44.41 and no comorbidities and my current insurance wont cover it so I am looking to switch to one that does. Otherwise I'll have to self finance. Responses to those in my situation beofre or now would help. Thanks.

the doctors office just talked to them. They came back in the room and told me that there was an exclusion so i am not covered. I never eprsonally talked to them. I never got a denial letter it was just an over the phone thing. Should I just call them myself and ask what the exclusion is?
