Which plan of either Aetna or United covers the surgery for the sleeve? I'm getting so discouraged, I don't feel like I'll ever be able to get this weight off of me.

You need to look at each specific plan which you would be on whether it is covered. I know that a coworker has UHC and she was approved easily. I have Aetna and I hear everything has to be down exactly as they want it. VSG is covered 100% under my husband's plan, but I will be paying a program fee. Most people who have Aetna, I assume, don't have as good of coverage as I. Check each plan specifically.

Good luck,

I have United and they covered it.

Each plan is different. I have UHC and it covers all three procedures. The plan I have required that I complete six months of doctor supervised diet and exercise. Psych evaluation. I was just approved and my surgery date is March 7th.I know someone that has UHC and their plan required a five year weight history. I use to have Aetna but the plan I had truely was not a good plan. Didn't cover didly. So look closely and carefully at each one. I personally would choose UHC over Aetna any day. But to each his own.
