out-of-pocket surgery

Thanks so much for the information and inspiration!  I'm going to research a little more and hopefully make a decision soon.  With a BMI of over 55, you'd think the insurance company would WANT to pay for RNY before they end up having to shell out a whole lot more for a more serious surgery like open heart or something.  But you just can't make my employer listen.  Anyway, congratulations to you and maybe I'll give you a yell when I make my decision.  Thanks again!!
