WLS Coverage: Insurance will generally cover bariatric surgery as long as you play by their rules before the operation - your weight loss surgeon will explain what I mean by that in your initial consultation. Diabetes and sleep apnea are your golden tickets for weight loss surgery but hypertension, OA, high cholesterol can help.
