Hello,

I have Health plan of Nevada / Sierra health and life.  Does anyone else have this insurance and what have been your response to getting the VSG surgery?  Was the approval process fast?  What did you have to pay for the surgery?  I am going to be out of pocket $11,000.  I am in Las Vegas, NV

Every insurance coverage is different.  They are all based on what the employer pays for.  Only someone who works for your same company and has the same coverage can tell you what they experienced with their Wls process. 

Even if someone here has the same Health Plan, it doesn't mean their employer paid the same coveratge.

    
    
Lost 271lbs with my LapBand in 22 months!  My Band malfunctioned and I gained almost 42lbs and then revised to the Sleeve 9/24/12!  I lost another 140 lbs with my Sleeve!  Loved the LapBand and Lovin' The Sleeve!

That is an outrageous amount of out of pocket expense, you may as well go to Mexico and save some money! That's just crazy!!!
