I just wanted to share the fact that my insurance had an exclusion for any type of weight loss surgery. The do allow exceptions but I didn;t try I paid cash for the surgery and expected to pay for all the fills and after care too. After my first fill I received a refund check. When I went in for the second fill I only had to pay my $25 co-pay. I was told that my insurance would pay for my aftercare (including fills), and all I would need to do is pay my co-pay.

So make sure you ask and provide your insurance information. It may save you soem money.

:clap2: That is very good to hear! My insurance does pay for wls but only after you've been enrolled in the program for 2 years and if you have at least 2 co-morbidities. I've only been with them since Jan and have no co-morbidities, so I'm not even trying to get it approved and will self-pay. However, I'm really hoping they will cover the fills after. Thanks to you I know that some insurance companies do this!

Barb, if you don't mind...what kind of insurance do you have? BCBS TX also has that exclusion, so maybe that will help me.

Wow! I'm excited, I'll have to call my doc tomorrow!! Thanks so much!!
