Will most insurance companies that cover the sleeve procedures also cover the complications that could arise (i.e. leakage?).  I know, for example, my Aetna plan covers sleeve 100% and also covers medically necessary conversion and revision surgery, but I can't find if that means it covers complications due to leaks, etc.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row (JUST IN CASE!)

Yes. Of course they will.

I was self-pay because of a hard exclusion on my policy, but even they would have covered complications. Your surgery is covered and your complications will definitely be.

Calm down. I see you getting worked up. LOL. DEEP breaths :)

To make yourself feel better, give your insurance company a quick call.
