Comorbities question

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!!

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