  9. I found out defiantly my insurance does not cover WLS! Does anyone have any experience with self pay in Louisiana, preferably Baton Rouge? How much and which Dr. I don't like the idea of Mexico but that's just me!! I'm a big chicken would be scared of the bad things that could happen! Thanks for any help.
  10. Thanks.. I'll try doing that today!!
  11. I was wondering how to start this process!! I have a appointment with my PCP on Sept 5th. But, I've already called my insurance and they do not cover WLS. Does this mean "at all". My BMI is 43 and I have at least 1 comorbite.. Will health insurance consider coverage at this point? Is that when I can do the 6month or whatever qualifying I must do!! Just trying to be prepared and not totally heartbroken!! Any help would be appreciated thanks ya'll..
