I am looking into getting health insurance. is it hard to find a company who does not exclude weight loss surgery?  I have had gastric bypass in 2004, which I paid for out of pocket.  Are their companies out there that will cover me and possibly a revision?  Or am I just being hopeful??? Thanks for any help...........Cindy

Revisions.  yes but it's up to whether it's in the policy or not as to whether they cover WLS.  If you had a gap in insurance of more then 90days you could have apre-existing condition waiting period of up to a year. Carriers:  Don't know really by State what companies cover what.   What state are you in?

I live in Missouri.  I have not had any insurance for over 1 1/2 years.  (When I had my surgery I paid for it myself because the insurance I had at that time did not cover WLS.)  Thanks Cindy
