What is the general cost if insurance does not cover ? I have Blue Cross and doubt they will cover me. I am struggling financially but I would like to find a way to have a procedure. I would love to keep 60 pounds off. 70

Pounds would be awesome too. Or even 50. I just want surgery so bad (I've dieted since 4rth grade.. Don't wanna put too much personal info on here until I figure this site out. Also I am logged in via FB lol). But wanted to ask.. I enjoy reading everyone's stories (so far). Only been on this site today.
