Defeated

Well it came out today. My insurance company will not pay for the surgery. It is an exclusion in my insurance no matter what.

 

I cannot afford to be self paid as my credit is horrible due to a divorce a couple of years ago and quit simply I cannot pay out on it at this time. So chaulk me up to the numerous others out there that would do it in a heartbeat to live a better life but that it is not an option. Back to trying to lose weight the old fashioned way.:party:

Pete, I found out over 3 years ago that it was excluded and I couldn't afford self-pay. My insurance changed its policy last December. Don't give up. Keep calling every month - insurance companies change their policies all the time. I am proof!

I do not know if this is an option for you, but I have heard of people taking a loan out on their 401K/retirement accounts for the procedure.
