Aetna isnt excluding the coverage, your group health plan just does not include it in your benefits package. Talk to your employer about including it in next years benefits package.

It denies people lifesaving care. Period.
My former employer had exclusions denying surgery, and since IL is a state without laws pertaining to obesity treatment, I had to wait until I found an employer/plan that did not exclude it.
I have heard that attornies specializing in WLS appeals may be of service, but this information is not first-hand.
Good luck to you...
