I have humana coverage, and I spoke with them and my policy do have WLS coverage. I am 5'4 222lbs, hypothyroid, severe knee pain and heel pain, adrenal fatigue. I have tried every diet under the sun. doctor even had me on diet pills and I didn't lose any weight. don't have major health problems. hope my insurance will qualify me. Please let me know if your any of you guys insurance approved you without major health problems. I do have family history of high blood pressure, diabetic. thanks for replies.

Do you know what your BMI is? Most insurances will approve anyone with a BMI over 40, and will approve with a BMI of 35-40 with at least one co-morbidity.

My BMI is 38.1

My BMI is 38.1

With a BMI of 38.1 they will more than likely require you to be diagnosed with at least one comorbidity. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea. If your BMI was 40 or above they do not require the comorbidities.

or you can gain 11 lbs....

@tamoune wow! you have good insurance. I am confused because my insurance company wants 6mths diet and 2years history of overweight. do I have to show my medical record for the past 2 years that I was overweight? and will that mean I will not have to do 6mths diet. just confused.

Wow,I have Humana Gold (a Medicare advantage plan) and didn't have all that. No 6 month diet or 2 year diet history.

I have Humana H.M.O and my BMI was 59 by the time I went for approval. I didn't have any trouble getting approved
