This is veryimportant forinsurance companies to make it easier for obese patient to get weight loss surgery, it saves them money in the long run and theywill save more lives. It ridiculous the amount of work you have to get,to get a life savingsurgery. society looks at weight loss surgery as a quick fix but that is wrong. You have to do a lot of work after surgery. These insurance companies wants their patients to do the impossible only to find out your not approved. Or they denied you because you gained weight. being severely obese or morbity obese doesn't happen over night. when someones has major health problems or has a high BMI that should be enough proof right there thattheyneed the surgery. many of us have tried so many diets and failed. But being obese for years is not good enough for these health insurance companies. Health insurances companiesneed to stop making it difficult for obese patients to get this surgery and help people us gethealthy instead of making hard for us to get the help we need that could save our lives.
