Will insurance pay for complications with WLS if you have it done in TJ????



Recommended Posts

It depends. I have fepblue and they will not treat a claim for complications any differently based on where the surgery was performed, whether they paid for the surgery, etc. Can you send your company a secure message?

Each policy is different. There are people here who have been told complications aren't covered, but then there are those of us who said they are.

You can also buy a post op complication policy that covers a certain amount for a certain period of time. So if you get a blood clot, stricture, leak, they reimburse you for those.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
