I wouldn't hold my breath about your insurance company ever covering it.
John Deere, my company, actually pulled WLS coverage from some plans it
had in place, saying the surgery was too risky and unproven. I had also
checked into WLS and was dismayed by this news. All these insurance
companies and doctors screaming at us to lose weight, but closing all
the doors to options. My plan still won't cover nutritional counseling,
for goodness sake. I know, I know, we're supposed to have all this
willpower to do it on out own. Good luck with that.
