Sounds like a deal. I've heard my surgeon in MA tell people it's about $20k. I was fortunate to have medical insurance coverage.

Good luck!

I know it will worth every penny, but try to explain it too my husband!ii tied to reason with him, but no luck. He says you lost weight before you could do it again on your own(in 2008 i lost on a low carb diet over 60 lbs in 5 month, i kept the weigh off for about 4 month , got pregnant and now 20 month later I'm again 193 lbs. $12750 it is just hospital and surgeon fee almost all the test are on the insurance. MY doctor will try to file for the insurance but I'm sure they will deny, my BMI is 32. I do not want to lie to my hubby , but thinking maybe i tell him insurance is paying for have of the surgery and secretly charge the other have to my mom credit card and pay it off

I'm in NW suburb of Chicago and it's 17k here. I'm a BMI of 40 but was just below it for 8 years (within 10 pounds). I have high triglycerides and cholesteral and insulin resistance but no "major" comorbidities so UHC has been denying my appeals. So sad but think going with the 17k as really feel like this is the tool for me to help get healthy.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
