It takes several months to get it approved. Not a quick fix at all and not all insurances will cover the procedure in it's entirety. I know we have good insurance and mario had to pay $2500 out of pocket. He was very heavy and tried his best to get back down to a normal weight.
He stayed out two weeks post surgery then came back to work. He has lost 40 lbs but he is very sick and felt weak so he is back on disability. |
Oh wow, thanks for the info. That doesn't sound very fun at all. I think I just need to get over it and loose the weight on my own. If I were to loose 50 pounds, I would be at a very healthy weight for me. I would be at my weight when I was in highschool and played softball and was able to run 4 miles no problem, lol. I really don't have that much to loose compared to some I suppose.
