I was looking into gastric bypass surgery for emergency weight loss. I needed to know how much the surgery was though before I take out a loan to get it. I have called many places and tried to research it on the web but to no avail.
Also, in your opinion, which is better: Gastric Bypass or LapBand?
I had a gastric bypass 6 years ago, I need a tummy tuck but employer switched to HMO. I have heard that Kaiser will do it, but you have to meet their criteria. Anyone know what I should say to the doctor to get him to authorize the procedure? What is the criteria? Thanks
I had gastric bypass and have lost 150 pounds and I work out, but there is no way get the skin off. Is there a discount for gastric bypass people? Will insurance pay for it? PLEASE HELP! I lost all this weight and still don’t like my body. All my hard work is still not paying off!
I am having gastric bypass in june and I want to know how much it it going to cost me out of pocket
can anyone tell me how to find out besides waiting for the doctor to tell me?
I had a gastric bypass 7 years ago. I lost over 150 lbs. and kept it off! I feel great with the exception of a lot of extra skin around my abd., breasts, arms and rear. My ins. refuses to cover the surgery stating that it is “cosmetic” rather than “reconstructive”. They obviously did not look at the pictures of my disfigured mid section. I am looking for a Dr. or teachin hosp., who will be interested in doing pro bono, or reduced cost surgery. In exchange I would be willing to be photographed or video taped, before, during, and after. I am a designer at a printing co. and would put together promotional piece(s), printed and mailed to a list of bariatric patients in the area or accross the country, to showcase the work. I have encountered many people who NEED these surgeries to resume normal lives, patients who are interested in having their bodies refined as well. It could probably even be written of as an advertising expense. Please advise.
A lap band is more often covered by insurance than gastric bypass, so you might be looking at at difference of $45,000 between the out-of-pocket price of the bypass and your deductible.
