I found out defiantly my insurance does not cover WLS! Does anyone have any experience with self pay in Louisiana, preferably Baton Rouge? How much and which Dr. I don't like the idea of Mexico but that's just me!! I'm a big chicken would be scared of the bad things that could happen! Thanks for any help.

Anyone had surgery with Dr Hausmann!! I am starting my journey on Sept 16th.. I meet with him for my first consult! My primary care is behind me 100% just wish insurance would be too! I am going to be a self pay at The Women Hospital! Just wondering any advice anyone could give on him! Bed side manor, result, etc. just some thoughts!! Today is my first day smoke free and I and hoping for the first of the year for my surgery just due to not having anymore sick leave at work!! Thanks for any thoughts!!

Woohoo!!! I just got mine too!! I'm already in love... Just set mine on sleep mode!!

Being able to change my Drivers Licenses weight without lying and the lady giving me that "Oh really NOW" look.....

Congrats!!!

Woohoo!! My prayers are with you!! I'm excited for you!! Good Luck!!

I'm in the same boat!! Red Bull is my vice and can't seem to function without it! I am also stopping cold turkey on the cigs!! Today is my first day with both!! I hope I don't try and ripe someone's head off!!!! I know all of this is for our health!!! Good luck!!

Good luck, saying a little pray!!

I'm originally from Monroe! Thanks ya'll this is overwhelming but I'm determined it will not stop me!

Thanks.. I'll try doing that today!!

I was wondering how to start this process!! I have a appointment with my PCP on Sept 5th. But, I've already called my insurance and they do not cover WLS. Does this mean "at all". My BMI is 43 and I have at least 1 comorbite.. Will health insurance consider coverage at this point? Is that when I can do the 6month or whatever qualifying I must do!! Just trying to be prepared and not totally heartbroken!! Any help would be appreciated thanks ya'll..
