Hi, I am so new to message boards that I don't even know if I needed to start a new thread or what but wanted to weigh in (no pun intended) and say hello.
My husband & I are just about to commit to lap band surgery in Mexico. His employer opted to exclude medical insurance for any coverage of any type of weight loss regardless of morbidity risks. We had such great hopes when we were told the employer was changing insurance companies. But, again no coverage.
We have been saving for over a year and a half and feel that we can't wait any longer. Getting on and off the low carb bandwagon just isn't accomplishing anything for us. My husband has been researching and decided that our best bet would be in Monterrey with a Dr. Zapata not only because of his pricing/coverage but primarily because of the hospital itself that he uses is well respected and top notch. I am a little nervous about the whole thing since we will be doing this in about 2-3 weeks because of time constraints for previous professional commitments my husband has. He will need the 2-3 week recovery before resuming his extensive traveling in late April.
