Default Insurance Question

I posted this in general but I think belongs here.

Hello everyone.

I just found this site today and I must say it's pretty impressive. Everyone seems very nice and full of information.

Now to my question. Is there any getting around the fact that my insurance company does not pay for gastric bypass. My policy clearly states that they do not cover weight loss surgery.

Has anyone paid for the procedure themselves? It's not like I have $30,000 sitting around but if I can get on some type of payment plan I'd probably be willing to do so.

Sorry the abrupt question but I don't to call the insurance company and "mess up" by telling them something I'm not supposed to.

Thanks,

Paul
