bridges gastric band with 80/20?

My insurance covers 80/20 for the surgery. I'm getting a gastric band. How much did you pay with your 80/20 coverage? Thanks:)

 My insurance wouldnt cover that band from what i was told so i asked for the Ds and got that..  and they paid for it all 

phxbbw6ft1, are you going to the Bash in July? Your pic looks familiar.

 What bash? I want to go! I am in Maricopa, Az

There is a BBW bash in Las Vegas every summer. I don't know much about it because I've never been. But, I'm going this year. Should be interesting.

 Oh I dont qualify as a BBW anymore! Dagnamit. I love Vegas too. I said good bye to Lane Bryant months ago, they kicked me out. I walked in to look at bras and the lady told me before I got my question out "this is a plus sized store mam"! I can still wear the bras, mean old lady discrimnating against a former BBW! 
I hope you have a blast! This may be your last chance!

LoL! I think this is more about 'size acceptance' vs BBW only.... (at least my understanding of it). Some pics I've seen had previous BBW's that were thin now. I dunno ::shrugs:: it's a free ticket and a reason to get outta Phx for 5 days. If I don't like the vibe, it's VEGAS!!!

Yanno, as happy as I am at the thought of being able to go into the majority of the stores in the mall to shop for clothing - I'm going to miss LB and Torrid. It's so weird. I got some nice clothes dammit! And having saggy ass in my once full jeans is kinda ticking me off. But, I know it's worth it!!!

That's funny about being kicked out, I guess I kinda wonder to myself when I see thin women or men working at LB... but I suppose it's the same around when people go in there with plus sized ladies working. Shoot, if I can still fit in the bra's at LB, I know they got deals all the time and no one is gonna stop me from shopping in there if I choose to do so.

I had my gastric bypass in 2009 I also had 80/20 insurance.  It ended up running me around $3,000.  I have no regrets it was worth every penny.
