I've recently found out that I need to have my gallbladder removed. I was going to travel next summer to have the gastric sleeve done by a cheaper surgeon because my BMI (36) is not high enough for insurance coverage.
Anyway, I was wondering if it would be worth it to try to get the surgeries performed at the same time here. If that's even possible. If all I had to pay is the surgeon fee since I will already be in surgery, it would be much more affordable. Has anyone done this before?
I'll definitely be calling for more info. next week. Just looking for some advice in the meantime.
