I am just wondering if when insurance states you need a comorbity along with the weight, are they saying you must have one of them for at least 5 years aswell ?

my insurance is Aetna , but seems I might as well not have any they dont want to cover anything:(

I have Aetna as well and my policy didn't require having a comorbidity for a certain amount of time, just that I had some. I have Aetna Managed Choice, which seems to cover more than Aetna HMO. I also had my primary care doc write a letter that said she supported and recommended Lap-Band and that I had several comorbidities. Good luck!!

Thank you both for your replies .. that gives me hope

I'm filling out my paper work right now getting ready for my appointment tomorrow morning.... and I am adding the Co-morbiity of

PCOS and Skin Tags... seems I read somewhere that there are a bunch of unsung comorbitities that qualify.....
