Hubby & I APPROVED and had surgery dates..... until.....
Got the call today that my hubby & I were approved (him for sleeve and me for band -> sleeve revision) for surgery and we scheduled surgery dates!! Then I thought to call and get the total cost due before surgery and my hubby's insurance only pays 50%!! OMG!! I have to save another $1600!! This SUX!!!! 
Began journey in 2007 at 312, had Lap band 2008, lost 40 pre-op then 24 post op, regained to 319. Lost 39# on my own, then revised to VSG 4/29/13 @ 280.

Congratulations on being approved! My insurance didn't cover it at all. What I did was get a zero percent interest credit card and put the surgery on that. I paying it down little by little. I figure at the end of the year I take up one of those zero percent balance transfers before the interest goes up. Maybe that would work for you and your hubby?
