I saw the new surgeon, and there is good news and bad news. The good news is that there is none of that weight requirement stuff. The bad news is that I learned that "100% covered" by France's healthcare actually means, in this case, 100% of 400€, and my health insurance can cover an extra 300€. But the total amount is about 3k so that's still over 2k I'd have to cover myself. It's better than the zero coverage I'd get if it were purely aesthetic, but not great.

I'm going to see if I can find a doctor who doesn't charge extra but I don't have great hopes, and plan B is... saving up I guess?
