Question:
Anyone had any other procedures done at the same time as WLS besides Gall Bladder?

I have insurance that won't cover this. I have already had my Gall Bladder removed. I was wondering if I could have my tubes tied at the same time so the insurance will pay for the hospital charges. Anybody had their tubes tied at the same time?    — Karen W. (posted on March 18, 2002)

I had my surgery last June. I had the GR/DS, gallbladder removed, apendix removed, hernia repaired, and tubal ligation. A 5 for 1! I don't know that the insurance will pick up all of the hospital charges because a tubal ligation alone would not require as long of a hospital stay or as much time under anesthesia. They should pick up some of the costs though. The insurance guru at your surgeons office should be able to help with that information. E-mail me if you have any other questions.
