Wls is excluded on our insurance, so I had to pay out of pocket. It was 21,800, and includes the surgery, office visits for a year, labs, hospital stay, etc. The only thing not included is if a radiologist reads an xray or something like that. My surgeon is actually seeing me more often than his usual patients since it's all included. I considered surgery for years but it's never been covered by any insurance I've had. I was also much smaller and still healthy, so it wasn't urgent. In January I found out I have NASH with scarring, and in May was diagnosed with high BP. I'm 49 and I wasn't diabetic but my mom had it 47 and she's much smaller than me so it was a matter of time. It was a huge amount of money to spend, but I can't spend it anyway if I'm dead, so I decided to do it. It has been worth every penny. I'm off BP meds and my liver enzymes were down after surgery so hopefully that issue will continue to resolve. I don't regret it all. I feel so much better already!
