My insurance has a WLS exclusion and under no circumstance, will they cover this procedure. How much money am I looking at paying if I find financing? And how exactly does the financing work? I know every situation is different, but how did yours work out?

It really depends on your credit rating. Here in Northern Virginia the cost of the procedure in around $17,500.00, a local surgeon should be able to give you an exact amount for self-pay in your area.

There are several companies that offer loans for medical procedures, you can go to their websites and use their calculators to get an idea on monthly payment amounts. Try your bank too and compare the online companies to what your bank can offer.

Here are a few links to medical loan companies (the first one is pretty popular):
