I was self pay. $10,000 in Louisiana. My insurance did cover my pre-op testing as I just went to an urgent care facility for that. I didn't even attempt to get insurance to cover my surgery. I have no patience for jumping through hoops. My whole process was less than two weeks.

1. Did your insurance cover your surgery? NO, They had a strict "no bariatric" clause.
2. If so, what was your out-of-pocket expense? NA
3. If you paid for the surgery yourself, how much did you pay? $14,000 five years ago. It's probably gone up since then. The price included everything pre and post up, all labs, etc, up to 3 months after surgery. Then I just switched to my PCP who is very educated on the sleeve.
4. In what state/country did you receive your surgery? Missouri, USA
