What insurance do you have? I have Cigna- just completed their 3 month requirement , will be eligible to submit on jan 5th and then have to wait

I have Anthem Keycare and getting approved for the revision was relatively painless. I met with the surgeon, the dietician and the psychologist. The only outside thing I needed was a letter of support from my PCP. It took 12 hours to get an approval once everything was submitted.

Right now I am poor and have Meridian a Michigan Medicaid provider. Their policy is one weightloss surgery per lifetime even if they didn't do it to begin with.

If it is an option, go with Kaiser. They covered mine 100%
