why wont ins. pay for VS

was just reading up on different wls and in most cases, insurance won't pay for the sleeve, do you all know why??

I don't  know bout that.

Mine would cover it I just checked. I have Aetna

I have Cigna and they don't cover it, I am pretty sure it's because it's still considered experimental. Not 100% sure on that though.

so it is newer then the band?? does Loggins do it?

Dreamin192 is correct.  In the insurance world it is still considered experimental.  It takes lots of time before insurance companies will cover a procedure.  They are in business to make money...not spend it.  They want to know all the details of procedures and possible complications as well as success rates...just like us.

very intersting, and if its that new, I'm too chicken to try it. hehe  Thanks guys
