RE: Weight Loss Losers and Weight Loss Surgery-Mondays video
my original response to certain members of wl community comments about weight loss surgery and how people who have surgery are “lazy” or taking the way out:

I believe in educating people…I believe in being honest and truthful about this journey…and one of them is that wls is not dangerous…Obesity is dangerous and killing people every day. But we are two communities, both working hard to get to the same place…better health and better life.

I need weight loss surgery, How much out of pocket money will I need?
I have an employee group PPO (Humana) I live in Florida is there any financial help available.
While there are many different types of weight loss surgery, the cost averages about $25,000. Depending on a combination of factors, costs have been stated as ranging from $10,000 to $40,000. While cost can vary between procedures, cost also varies for the same procedure from person to person based on their individual circumstances. The complexity of the surgery, the amount and type of follow-up care can differ between patients, as well as cost differences between geographical locations and from doctor to doctor.
When comparing costs, it is necessary to account for all factors that contribute to the overall cost of weight loss surgery. Some weight loss surgery providers will quote one all encompassing cost, while other providers will quote surgery cost only, and not take into account pre-op tests, hospital charges, follow-up care, counseling appointments, but prefer to bill items separately.
Hope this helps.
