Using another surgery to help cover costs?

[StacieM 0]

Ok question... has anyone had another surgery done at the same time... ie.. bladder, hernia, tubal ligation? I have a friend who jsut had a TT (no WLS) and she got her surgeon to do it for $500 cause she had a tubal ligation and bladder repair done at the same time? I heard someone else say you might get your insurance to cover the cost of the anasthesia and hospital fees if you are having another procedure done and then all you have to self pay is the WLSurgeons fees....

Any info would be great since i need tubal ligation and bladder repair is not a bad option for me (although WLS might solve this problem).

I will post in insurance thread too just in case...

THANKS.
