Question:
How do you people pay for this? And does anyone have Blue Cross/Blue Shield?

I have Blue Cross / Blue Shield traditional. It paid all of my surgery plus all blood work and any test needed before and after surgery. Good luck! Wanda G.

post op plastics will be paid if its necessary for medical reasons, like excess belly sjin causes rashes documented by your PCP. Flabby arms are rarely covered because they dont tend to cause other medical troubles. Plastics can really improve appearance but are much more painful than RNY.

I have BC/Bs and they were wonderful. I paid only the $10 Dr. visit co-pays. They paid everything else. I was treated with care & respect. The approval came in 2 days after the Dr. requested it. I'm 3 months, 2 weeks post-op and have lost 50 lbs!
