Hi everyone my name is Ashley! I am new to all of this! I am 5ft 7in and weigh 225lbs I have ben battlin my weight for as long as I can remember! Ive tried weigh****chers, diet pills, every diet, excercise, and I always seem to get back to where I started! I have high blood pressure and awful depression!  I have thought about weight lose surgery before but it was just a thought now after finding out I have high blood pressure I have decided it would be the best thing for me and my future! I have only talked to my doctor about it once, but I think I was ashamed to go to a seminar or see anyone about it! I have paramount insurance and was wondering if anyone has any information on them as far as if they will pay for any of my surgery! If not I am willing to finance but was wondering if anyone knew around how much monthly payments would be and how much interest rates would be/I am very excited, but am taking it slow I know this procedure will not happen over night! Congratualtions to everyone who has had the surgery and lost the weight......I know it has to be a wonderful feeling!!!! Thank you, Ashley

First off WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next CALL YOUR INSURANCE they will tell you what you are and are not covered for. Each policy is different.
Also you can ask what docs are in network then you can start researching all of them. After you have narrowed down the docs then you can start asking about the fincance if insurance doesn't cover. Each doc should have info on that also then you can call each company and find out all the payment plans and such.
Keep research and you will find the right WLS and DOC for you.
Good luck,
Robin
