The doctor I'm considering has had mixed reviews. Lots love him, but the most common complaint is he treats people like cattle , is arrogant, rude, and wont answer question and will tell patients he's too busy . I haven't met with him yet and am a little worried. I want a doctor who's phenomenal at his job so arrogance is to be expected, but where is the line? I know there are tons of doctors out there, but I cant afford them. He offers specials so I feel like if I want this surgery I have to choice....

Sorry typo.. Meant "No choice" not "to choice"

If your insurance has an exclusion does that mean they won't even consider it even with a letter from the doctor and proof of previous weight loss attempts?

Hi guys I have a long story to tell and I need support. In 2011 I was getting all my blood work done and checking into my hotel room the night before my surgery when they called and told me I was pregnant. So we turned around and headed home. Now here we are in 2014 and 2 kids later, and I'm ready to try it all again. This time money is harder to come by even though my husband received a promotion at work. Taking care of 2 girls is expensive. Who'd of thought it? Any way during my first pregnancy I developed gallstones and it's highly recommended they remove my gallbladder. To this day I still have. 1-2 attacks a month. Now here's the question has anyone been able to get their sleeve and gallbladder removed at the same time? There is an exclusion on my insurance for weight loss surgery so I'm paying out of pocket, but the gallbladder surgery would be covered so that's why Im hoping they can do both at the same time. If anyone has had it at the same time and in the same boat as me what was the final cost?
