Barbara, I do not have any personal experience with Wal-Mart's insurance, but I do remember reading on the message board months ago about so many people who work at Wal-Mart that would like the surgery, but Wal-Mart has an exclusion in the policy against it. Wal-Mart is self-insured, but at that time they refused to change the policy. Good luck to you. Ginger

There is a woman who works at the Canandaigua, NY Walmart store. She had WLS around 6-9 months ago. I have on idea if her insurance is through Walmart or not. But they all seemed very supportive of her.

I have a friend who works at the Walmart in Hammond, Indiana who recently had the surgery. I haven't seen her in a few weeks and I know she was going to have it after her son went back to school. Every time I go in there, I try to look for her and I don't see her.
