risewithfire 0 Posted December 6, 2016 Hi Im new here and I need help figuring out how to get this surgery for my lady. Its a dream of her's and I promised her I would help. a little backstorry. she's 20 (21 in may next year) and Im 23. Shes been struggling with her weight since we where kids. shes 5'3" 350lbs. no major health issues. a year ago we were both on NV medicaid because we where homeless. now I have a decent paying job ($11.50) so now we no longer qualify for medicaid. I dont know where to begin. Should I try to get insurance yo cover her sugery? if which one is good? Should I just save up to pay out of pocket I have only 1k so far. we were consider in house financing in Mexico but we'll need at least 1k more saved. I want her to get this as quick as possible. I dont want to see her hurt anymore. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinasu 621 Posted December 6, 2016 Her weight should make her eligible without co-morbidities. She should at least attempt to start the process and then go from there. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShondaDaDiva 15 Posted December 6, 2016 Talk to her doctor if he recommends the surgery the insurance will probably cover at least part of it. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
