Question: How come insurance companies pay for stomach staple/band and not implants!?
I feel most people whom a heavy are by choice!. Eating wrong and no exercises!. But People who a born with small breast not a lifestyle choice!.!. So why would they pay for one and not the other!? They both can cause mental issues!.!. ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
because it's cheaper to pay for the staple/banding and hope they lose weight and get healthy than to pay for open heart surgery post MI (myocardial infarction), diabetes management, high blood pressure medication for life, !.!.!.
as for breast implants, having flat or no breast tissue does not affect a person's health so no loss to the insurance company!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because America has finally taken notice of the obeasity threat that is starting to take over American's!. Once smoking faces the same scruitany, they will probably pay for "stop smoking" treatments!.

Im guessing you are the one that wants the implants and to be honest you can probably find a guy that will pay for them!. LOLWww@Answer-Health@Com

Insurance companies will not pay for cosmetic surgeries (such as getting braces, getting a nose job, or even breast implants)!. They only pay for surgeries that are crucial to someone's health!. (Like having open-heart surgery)

To be quite honest though, I didn't know insurance companies covered stomach stapling!. I think they should though because obesity is a serious health problem in this country!.

I also agree with Micah!.!.!.I don't think that being obese is a choice!. I don't know anyone who's obese and happy with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Um!.!.that would be because small breasts are not hazardous to your health!. Being obese is!.

Sure, they did it to themselves, you say!. Well, some people gained weight because of needed medications for other things!. Some people have food addictions, just like drugs!. Go ahead and say it's stupid, but it doesn't change the fact that it's true!. And you think people CHOOSE it!? -__- Wrong decisions but not a choice!. They are CHOOSING to be healthy again by having the surgery!.

If you have small breasts, take a supplement or something if you cant pay or save up if you must get surgery!. And if you have "mental issues" and are blaming it on your ta-tas!.!.!.stop!. Your problem is rooted deeper than that!. If your only source of happiness come from what you look like or what people think!.!.!.!.
