Hi everyone! It has been awhile since I posted. I completed all my requirements and submitted for insurance approval. And I was denied. Don't know why yet since they won't tell me over the phone.

I am wondering about self pay options though. Anyone do this? Does the hospital set up a payment plan or do you have to pay up front? I would be getting gastric bypass at park Nicollet. Anyone know what the cost is?

It gets really difficult really fast. Costs can range to the mid $40,000s. similar operations across the boarders can be more in the $13-17,000 range.That is why some people look at foreign options.
