Gastric bypass surgery paid in full... possible?!
Question: Gastric bypass surgery paid in full!.!.!. possible!?
I am a 27 year old (28 in one month) female who is over 300lbs!.
I really need to get the surgery!. I try to exercise but my muscles BURN and I get out of breath really easily!.
The surgery would be very VERY beneficial to my health but my insurance will only pay for 80% of it and I have to pay the rest!. I don't have the $$$ to pay even 10% of the bill!. I really want and need to get the surgery but don't know what to do!.
Any ideas or has anyone gotten the surgery and it was paid in full!?
P!.S!. I live in CA!.

Answers:
It really just depends on your insurance!. 80% payment is very good!. See if you can set up a payment plan with your surgeon or even try to negotiate the price so that the insurance will cover it all!.
My insurance paid 100% of my surgery but we are military!. I'm 31, 5'8" and weighted 310 the day of my surgery!. I've lost 130 pounds in 11 months!. I would have paid any amount of money for the surgery!. It has changed my life!Www@Answer-Health@Com
