Insurance Hell It looks like my hope to have weight loss surgery has come to halt. I filled out all the application and received a letter back stating that my insurance has an exclusion it that it does not cover weight loss surgery. I went to see my PCP and he said definitely that he would back me in having this surgery and suggested I call the weight loss surgery center to see if there was anyway around the clause. However, I was told that there isn't anyway around it no matter what it would not cover it. Self pay is not an option for me we are barely making it as it is. So I guess I will just keep hoping for now and look for other alternatives to help with my weight loss journey.

I am so sorry to hear that Lisa, I really am. Have you posted your situation on the insurance help forum? I bet they may have some suggestions. I hope something works out for you. Keep us posted and keep fighting, don't give up.

Oh hun, I am so sorry. What a huge disappointment. Always check your policy each year. You never know what will change. My work never covered it until just starting in April. And I work for a darn hospital.
I pray things will come around for you. Please dont loose hope in you and your future. Best luck.
