Topic: RE: Insurance
The Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America is doing grants.  I have seen where they have helped several people already have weight loss surgery and they also have grants for plastic surgery.   If you are on facebook they have a facebook page where you can get more info on this group.

Here is the link on the Main Forum about someone getting a grant. She said it took a long time, but she finally got it.

You may be able to get some information from her. I didn't even know grants existed but apparently there are some obesity advocate groups gaining strength that are starting to give the grants.

Topic: RE: Insurance
Just from your response and my lack of thinking, I do not think I would want to take the private pay method. The surgery I am actually wanting is the Roux-enY Gastric Bypass(RGB). I have not found any individual plans that will cover gastric surgeries, since my research began about a week ago. I was wanting to know of the people who have had it and with an individual plan, what insurance did they have? Also, could someone tell me more about the grant thing? I actually have an uncle who gets many local grants for students, businesses, parks, etc. I may even be able to ask him. Thanks!
