Does anyone have any experience or information on the Orbera balloon?

So I got approved, but getting the run around now. Originally I was told my insurance would only cover $10,000 toward the surgeon who does my Gastric Sleeve surgery and I would have to pay the surgeon anything above $10,000, but hospital would be covered. Did all my testing had date set and Now they are saying the will only cover $10,000 total for the whole surgery and I have to pay everything over $10,000. Which the hospital is telling me it will be about $27,000. Any ideas if there is anyway to get my insurance to pay more than $10,000? I don't have an extra $20,000 laying around.

Looking for gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico. I was suppose to have surgery Nov. 17 in Illinois but my insurance has now decided they gave me false information so now back to square one.

I've had to cancel my surgery date. My insurance is now saying they with only cover $10,000 max and the surgery total will be around $30,000. Originally the insurance said it was a $10,000 max for the surgeon only, but everything else would be covered. I can't seem to get a straight answer from the Insurance Company after speaking to at least 10 different people. Now what? Any suggestions?
