Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I guess my over all question pertaining to tucks and lifts is which insurance covers it and under what conditions will they consider doing it, if at all?
If there is anyone out there that got this done and whose insurance actually covered it would you be willing to share this information - because out of pocket just doesn't seem like anything I'll ever be able to afford and it concerns me greatly.
I am grateful for all information shared thus far for those who paid out of pocket and happy for you and your ability to do so. I don't want to over think this too far ahead of the game because I haven't even had my surgery yet, but I too want to be able to do this when its time. Be blessed

I didn't think the loose skin would be an issue pre op but now that I see that ucky loose skin on me it does bother me. I will use Care Credit, cash out a 401K or my savings account to pay for some plastics once my WLS program says I can have it.
