You could call the Human Resource department of your employer and find out if it is covered or not.  I would also call the insurance company and ask for a copy of the bariatric surgery requirements.  for example, I have Aetna.  It is their clinical bulletin 0157.  I printed a copy of that and went through it with a fine tooth comb to make sure I met all the requirements. 

Good Luck to you!

Check your insurance's website to see if they have any clinical bullitens on  WLS.  Call insurance again to see what they say. Also if you have a  hand book on your benefits then you can possibly look there. I  hope this helps.

 I am having the same problem. Did you ever find a resution or get approved for the surgery?

 No, I browsed these forums and did a lot of internet research but I just don't have the money to do it.  So, I found something that is actually working and am losing weight the old fashioned way . . slowly but steady.  I've lost 40 lbs since the end of March using ViSalus.   Figured I'd end up on shakes before/after a surgery anyhow.  lol 

 So far insurance has paid for the consultation so we are going forward...just hoping that come time to file for approval, it goes through.congrats on your success and thanks for responding.

 Thanks!  Good luck to you and hope you get it approved!
