Scan Medical Insurance

Does my insurance cover obesity surgery?

I'm over 100 lbs overweight, with medical problems due to this. I have Aetna POS II insurance. Will they cover it weight loss surgery? Can anyone recommend a good Gastric- Bypass surgeron? I l;ive in Illinois.

1. re insurance call them. re surgery get a second opinion. my sister regrets the surgery have heard others do
2. That will depend on your individual plan. Even plans with the same name don't necessarily have the same coverage - especially if it's offered through your employer. Employers can negiotiate individual elements of your plan. BTW - 100 overweight is probably not going to qualify you for the surgery. Most of the time people are a lot heavier than that before a surgeon will even consider it.
3. Hi, I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work! A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at http://www.get2itnow.info where they have a free trial and you only pay 4.95$ shipping and handling. Good luck!
