WLS Qualifications

Hello. I am considering WLS. Can someone please tell me what are insurance companies qualifications for approving WLS. I want to get a general idea of my personal status. thanks

Every insurance company is different so the best thing to do is call your insurance company and ask them for their guide lines on WLS and you want it in writing. My insurance companies guidelines was: I had to be a 100 pounds over weight, BMI of 40 or greater. I had to do a year of dieting under a supervised Doctor and make sure it was documented. I had to have some obesity related conditions and in my case I had sleep apnea, Degenerative joint disease and on set of diabetes. I had all my doctors write letters on my behalf and submit them to my surgeon. Donna 338/229 -109
