Trying to find a way to pay
I am really trying hard to find an alternative to pay for Lap-Band surgery. My insurance is with BCBS(state) and they are just like driving down a dead end road. I have done alot of research but when it comes to financing WLS it seems to be a big brick wall as far as resources are concerned unless you have some great insurance or lots of money laying around. It's like either you have the money or not and the whole frustrating part of all this is that I work for one of the larget hospitals in the state of MS and they could care less about people who are struggling with weight. It seems to be more about making someone's bank account larger than it is about helping a person save their life.
Sorry you are having a hard time with your insurance company. I had major insurance issues too... ended up going South of the Border. Thought I'd give you some links to some financing sites:
