Hitting a wall is no fun!

Aug 19, 2016

So I've hit a wall in my journey to have weight loss surgery. I've gone through the six months of a medically supervised diet. I've got my doctor referral after having to have an EKG and then a stress test for clearance. My insurance (United Healthcare Community Choice) will cover my surgery, but the clinic I'm going to wants $1500 out of pocket. Thus, my wall. Being disabled, and still fighting for my disability, and my husband doing his best to support us, there's just nothing left to put towards my surgery. So I started a quest today to see if I can find a doctor that will do this surgery, accept my insurance and not require such a large amount out of pocket. If anyone knows of a Dr in the Knoxville area that meets this need of mine, please let me know! My journey is not yet over!
