Well, I got a call from the doc's office the other day, and it turns out that our insurance carrier does not cover any bariatric procedures. This in a word, blows.
I'll be honest, this revelation really upset me for a few days. It's difficult to see that light at the end of the tunnel, only to watch it fade away as it moves in another direction. I suppose I need to ask myself a very important question now... where do I go from here? I still need the surgery, I think... as every other weight loss method I have tried to apply myself to has failed thus far. Problem is that the procedure costs twelve thousand freaking dollars!
I simply ain't got that kinda money, kids.
The options as it stands right now:
1)Give up. I doubt I'm going to do this, but it needs to be on the table... If I do, then what about the message from the future? was it real? I was so convinced just a few weeks ago.
2)Finance the procedure somehow. Either with a medical loan (that have 10 percent interest rates) or by borrowing against the wife's 401k and stock options.
3) Find another way. I could borrow a hundred dollars from everyone I know... that would almost cover it.
