HI! I have medicare. They just required a letter from my Doctor stating my weight over the last year and his recommendation for WLS. It is SO EASY compared to everyone else's insurance.

Just a letter of medical necessity and your surgeon/surgery center must be on the COE (Center Of Excellence) listing.
