So guess what....I finally decided that I wanted to go through the trial again.  Turns out my insurance doesn't cover the surgery AT ALL.  It's considered a selective surgery and will NOT cover at all.  Horrible huh?? It turns out that my job had to select it under the policy and they didn't.  It hurts like hell but I think I can't get the surgery without the insurance.  I'm looking into the self-pay and loan plans and even credit cards. But I'm so afraid that I'll be in debt and it will kill me to pay it off.

I looked into different hospitals on Friday, so far I found two.  One is in NY and they are charging almost 60,000 for everything and probablly MORE.  Imagine putting 60,000 on a loan....I'll be paying it forever!!! lol

I check this plan in San Diego and they are charging only 7,000 for just the lap band and I get all this other stuff including which is not bad.  I also asked about the bypass but I have to call.  I'll be calling them on Monday to check.

I really want this surgery, I've tried so hard to keep it off but it's just not letting up.  I'm confused more then ever...
