NO health complacations from being over weight YET.Anyway...I did the medical report with my Primary Dr. whos report said I would benifit from weight loss surgury. I did an EKG. I did the physcoligist report who also said It would be benificial to me.The Dr.'s sectetary turned it in on tuesday afternoon......Thursday (this morning) I was told I got approved for Surgury.(NOTE: I decided & got approved for RNY Gastric bypass surgury)My Dr. is in network & charges $37,000 for this operation & ALL I HAVE TO PAY IS A $500 deductable!!!! Honestly...Ive been on the phone with Dr, Hucuz & Dr. Ortiz & acouple of others READY to book a lap-band surgury in MEXICO & do self pay because I NEVER BELEIVED my insurance would pay especially since I didnt have any health complacations! Im STILL In SHOCK!!! So....I just wanted to tell ALL the kind people on here to have faith,take it slow & it can happen!!!! I wish ALL get covered & have a happy & healthy surgury weather they chose the band or bypass.Thank-you all & good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
