insurance or self pay

I was wondering if all of you that are having PS have had it covered by your insurance or are you self pay? I have not been banded yet so I know I have a LONG way to go before I even think about PS but I was wondering how many people have insurance that will cover this.

I'm going to Dr. Bello in Mexicali (he doesn't have a website). It's going to be about $4,500. It will be less if I have the breast surgery at the same time, probably about $500 less for each surgery. It's out of Almater hospital.

I just got a quote today from a Phoenix guy for $10,600. Heh... I don't think so!

Boobs are $4800 for lift and implants.
