Default Welcome!

It's good that you're paranoid; sometimes we need to be! Good luck!

Hey welcome!

My insurance excluded wls unless you feel into the guidelines bmi of 35-39 with comorbidities or over 39 without. I had to go thur 6 month documented wl with pcp. Good luck...I can't believe when you called your insurance co they didn't explain it like that. In my insurance book it says excluded but then says it pays with the above guideleines...Relax...it will be okay!

Welcome... if you read your insurance exclusion carefully, somewhere it says "unless deemed medically necessary"... I have the same exclusion.. dont fret over it!

Good luck in your journey! (and a lot of people get taller after surgery... )
