I'm going in on Monday for my sleeve surgery and a little nervous because it's an outpatient facility. They said I'll stay overnight for a total of 23 hours. Everyone else I talk to and read about stay 2 nights. How did your experience there go?

I am self pay and they were willing to do it the following week.

I coordinate health insurance for our company and every one I looked at excluded bariatric surgery. My insurance agent told me that Texas still hasn't determined that bariatric surgery is medically necessary, so insurance companies don't have to cover it. Contrary to the post above, it's probably not your employer excluding it. My doctor said Humana and BCBSTX were the worst at trying to get approval. Some other insurance companies will approve you after you jump through some hoops. Good luck!

My surgery is 12/14 too. I hope they get yours worked out!

I'm 12/14 in the Dallas area. Can't wait!

I get mine done on December 14th in Texas
