My primary insurance carrier did not offer WLS coverage either however my secondary does. For people who do not have insurance coverage here in Nebraska, the surgeon I go through sets you up as a self pay patient and gets you a loan through a bank and then does not keep you overnight, just shy of it so that you are not charged so much for the surgery. Talk to your surgeon about other options, don't give up hope, there is always a way!

I'm going to be self-pay, my insurance policy states that they cover NO WLS. I guess the good part of that is I didn't have to jump through a lot of hoops and then get turned down, right?

We are using home equity to pay for ours. That way, we can deduct the interest. As well as have enough medical costs to deduct that as well.

Check with different surgeons for price and what their fees cover.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
