Are you sure your insurance will not pay?  I asked my insurance and they said "no", but upon further research I found that they had to pay for it if my BMI was 35 or over and I had diabetes and/or sleep apnea and/or high blood pressure.  

insurance does not have to pay,regardless of any health problems,if there is an exclusion written on the policy,for Wls. 

An exclusion means the employer has not bought the coverage for their employees and under no cir****tances will they pay.
