So I found out that my husband's Anthem BCBS PPO Blue Access excludes bariatric surgery. I'm so broke hearted! I know we cannot afford to do this on our own. The office director at my Bariatric surgeon said that there was no way around it. Anyone have any suggestions? I live in Indiana...

Good suggestion about the local hospitals here! I hadn't thought of that! I just emailed a friend who is a RN, and she's going to check out some thing for me. I'm really nervous about leaving the country for the procedure. Plus my regular doctor would give me a lot of grief about it.

I've never considered that. I'm not sure where to start. I'll check out google to see what is available.

This is a tough situation for me. I'm having fertility issues due to PCOS and my weight. I'm by no means looking for a quick fix. My husband and I have thought and prayed over this for a while. I just turned 39 a few days ago, and our chances for a healthy pregnancy are getting more slim by the day. I'm going to my doctor on Monday and just starting a 6 month supervised diet so I will have it out of the way if/when I'm able to have the surgery. Thanks everyone for your comments.

Thanks! You all have been very encouraging. Question: when you went to Mexico for your surgeries, did the $4-5K cover airfare and hotel or just the procedure?

Thanks for sharing. I'm really praying to find another way.
