I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY INSURANCE IS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR BARIATRIC SURGERY FOR AT LEAST 6 TO 12 MONTHS AS THEY RESEARCH THE COMPLICATION RATE. I WOULD LIKE YOUR FEED BACK ON WHICH OPTION I SHOULD DO.

1. kEEP ON THE MEDICAL SUPERVISED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM THAT I AM ON (I'M CURRENTLY LOSSING A POUND AWEEK)

2. LOOK AT SELF PAY OPTIONS (MAY NOT BE FINICIALLY FEASIBLE AT THIS TIME)

3. WAIT AND SEE IF INSURANCE WILL COVER IT NEXT YEAR (TURN 65 IN 2020 WITH MEDICARE)

That's a tough call. Sometimes insurances will go ahead and pay early if they find out you have a hernia. If you look at self pay, check out this fast track program in Las Vegas. https://blossombariatrics.com/fasttrack/

I say stay on the program you are on losing weight until you decide which of the other 2 options are available. could be a win win all the way....

Mine was self pay. Didn’t have a hernia so that was out. Also meant I didn’t have to wait months to have it done.
