How can I find an insurance policy that covers bariatric surgery?
My insurance doesn’t cover any bariatric surgery. Is there any way I can find a policy that does cover it, and purchase the policy privately?

The only way to get on a policy that covers bariatric surgery is to find a job with health benefits that do cover the surgery. If you have a BMI great enough to qualify for the surgery you will be over the height and weight guidelines of all individual plans that cover the surgery.
Any private policy that would cover it, won’t take someone who’s already obese.
Bariatric surgery isn’t a long term answer, anyway – most people who have it, are at or above their presurgery weights, within 5 years.
The ONLY long term effective strategy, is lifestyle change.
