Depends on the insurance. I know two people tht were banded and looked at gettin their stomachs done. One was approved by insurance and one wasn't. You will just have to see what you can figure out. I have also heard not to take no for an answer. You can repeal.

My doctor and insurance said most insurances will only pay for the stomach if they will even pay for that. The stomach I was told you need to show evidence of the problem for at least a year so if you want to try to get it covered you need to go to the doctor and have everything documented every time you have a problem. My insurance actually sent me paperwork stated they don't cover any surgeries for skin.
