I'm on disability and I am just wondering if they cover weight loss surgery 100percent. Will I have copay. I spoke to them and they said I shouldn't but I just want to hear from people who may have had insurance through disability and had surgery. I scheduled my inital consultation for January 16th and am planning to have surgery after my daughter is born in March 2020. Just wondering if anyone had experience with this. Thanks.

Where are you? I am in Chicago and had surgery at U of C. Medicare and medicaid completely covered it.

I only paid $25.00 out of pocket. SMO was also part of my disability and made it worse, so my DS was pretty much paid for, as was thigh skin removal - not a lift- A lift is considered cosmetic, and most insurances will not pay for it for any reason.
