Well I'm a 40 year old male. 5'8 294. I have a bmi of 43. I suffer from high blpod pressure high cholesterol and sleep apnea and joint pain. Myndoctpr tolsd me that my sugar was up last visit. He recommended that I look into bariatrics. So I did. I am a candidate for the sleeve, my problem is that BCBSKC well at least the plan that my job has doesn't cover it. Wow go figure. What can person do to catch a break. I am open to any suggestions you may have.

Welcome and sorry about your insurance. There are a lot of people here that have gone to Mexico that might be able to help you. I am lucky enough that my insurance does cover my surgery. Good luck to you and don't give up.

Thank you and I will keep trying

You can;

1-purchase a private plan I the exchange that does cover it

2- you can get on the wife's plan if she covers it

3- see if current employer offers another plan with coverage

4- self pay in Texas is about same price as Mexico. There is another thread on this already
