New! need info please

Hello ! I'm new at this but just looking for info , I am about 100 pounds over weight I don't go to the doctor unless I have to wich that was 3 yrs ago when i had my son ,My weight is starting to realy cause me problems my legs are killing me and I have no energy I somtimes take a stacker just to keep going I don't think my Insurence will cover any weight loss medication or surgery what could I do I loss 70 pound about 4 yrs ago then got pregnate and now I've gained it all back and can't seem to get if off. How do you get insurence to pay for that kind of thing Humana if anyone has a sugestion I"d really appreciate thanks lindsey

My advice to you is to contact a Dr in your area that does weight loss surgery. They'll have an insurance coordinator that knows all the ins & outs & how to word things for approval by your insurance. Don't give up! I started w/my insurance June 05 & had my surgery March 23. I wished I'd had it done sooner.

Also, contact your insurance company and see if they cover WLS. I have Humana and had no problem with them. Be warned though, sometimes they DO require a 6 mos medically guided weight loss program prior to surgery. Contact them and see what they say! Good luck!
