Has anyone been banded in the US that has paid for it out of pocket?
alatina replied to a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I was a self pay-went to dr kuri in tijuana and paid 9k-paid with our savings and now my ebay fund is depleted-lol.I was banded on April 27th -
I was lucky and didnt have to eat a special diet before surgery-it was AFTER for me that sucked and I honestly didnt do so well so Im of no help-good luck.

Anyone have an extra 15K lying around?!?
alatina replied to officegirlblues's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
you could do what alot of us selfpayers did and go to Mexico where it was a bit cheaper-I payed $9000-try this company-I know you said you had bad credit but doesnt hurt to try-they seem like a good finance option-medicredit 1-800-963-6334 -
congrats to you-hope all goes well.

dont let it stress you too much-perhaps you could go walking each time you get worked up-walking does a world of good for clearing your head and losing the pounds

Im 4 weeks in and I exercise bike 60 minutes a day-could do more but I HATE the bike-Im a treadmill girl but my treadmill died and cant afford the one I want right now so will have to make do with bike-I do it during a show I like-Its already too hot and humid for me to go outside and walk-I hate the humidity-lol.Anyway it just depends on you and how you feel but maybe do some walking.

Don't look down on us because we are fat!
alatina replied to TrishS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
its just the way it is tho-in society they see overweight people as lazy-itll never change-period.May hate the fact but it is what it is.Sucks eh? -
Ive told no one but my fiancee,my 2 best friends and 1 sister who is my biggest confidant-she never tells anything-lol.My 17 year old daughter doesnt even know...and she lives in the house!!!!Im a very private person and never tell people anything and the 2 friends have no ties to my employment so no one will ever know-works for me.I have hated the comments people make about my weight gain-I gained 80 pounds in 10 years and people who hadnt seen me would freak out.I have my 20 yr high school reunion next year and Im totally gonna be there since I didnt go to other ones because of the weight gain.

Some questions I have...Please answer...
alatina replied to Lisa Marie C's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have a few questions for those who have had the lap-band surgery... 1. How long were you out of work?***few days 2. Explain to me what getting "stuck" feels like.***very painful like others said 3. How soon after surgery can you begin to excercise?***I ran 80 minutes on the treadmill today(3 weeks in) 4. Were you afraid to eat after the surgery?***uh huh but did it anyway 5. If you have a spouse/significant other.. How did they handle your weight loss?**he is always supportive of everything I do but Ive only lost 15 pounds and you cant even tell yet. -
Im so depressed, did anyone else get denied?
alatina replied to j_war06's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
"How can you people afford to pay cash?" Just knew I needed it done-went to Mexico for 9K-thats what my rainy day fund got used for-you are 17 so I can understand how you may not have an account for this type of thing.Good Luck-also you may want to look into financing-try this place...medicredit-1-800-963-6334 -
