    Misty, my insurance is paying for the whole thing. I have military insurance. If you are a cash patient I believe the cost varies between 12,000 and 20,000 depending on what type of surgery you have. That is not including any pre-op work, labs, classes you have to attend or any follow up. My aunt said hers was about $100,000 after everything was totaled up. But her insurance paid too.

    Jodi,

    I just emailed you through the board. I was searching for posts on GBS and came across this one. How'd your surgery go? I just got home from an appointment with my PCP. She referred me to the bariatric surgeon and also for a sleep study. I am Tri Care Prime too. I think that's who you went through also, right? I am now trying to get as many pre-op appointments done as possible before my dh deploys the end of June. I will have to wait til he returns in November to schedule the surgery. I've tried everything to lose weight and always end up putting it back on. Please email me at airforcewife87@yahoo.com I'd love to correspond with you about this. I hope you are doing well and are healthy.
