My doc submitted to insurance on Thursday, they called and gave approval today!!! That's two business days!!! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My out of pocket- $3,750.... =( I was originally told it would be $2,000. So now I had to schedule surgery for Jan 22nd so I can save up the extra $1750. Ugh....

Hi There, I am an insurance biller in CA and I feel that your Doctors office is handing you a line so that they can get full pop for the surgery! Call your Insurance company and look for another Doc right away! I am going for my first doctors visit on Tuesday and I would guess that all insurance companies would be happy to help pay for this surgery due to the fact that we who are over weight will have more health problems as we get older if we stay over weight.
