United Healthcare anyone?
I do and mine covers it. The best thing for you to do is call them and ask. Each policy is different and not all cover this.

United offers many levels of coverage to employers, who then pick and choose the cost/benefit combo. Unfortunately, many employers are choosing to discriminate against obese employees to save a few bucks.
Check your Certificate of Coverage for exact details (available from the HR department) or call them, as suggested above.

I just got switched over to UHC and I called them today and the guy I spoke to said WLS is covered but you have to have BMI 35+. Give them a call and ask. I think there are different levels of coverage. Best wishes.
