I am having the surgery in Mexico and I'm curious to know if my health savings account will pay for at least my bariatric vitamins.

How far out are you? How much have you lost? Pictures? I am 5'11. Working out is painful these days, focusing on trying to be active. Scheduled for 3/31/16 Any input helps

Stupid things people say when they find out you've had surgery....

ive been kinda thinking up stuff to tell people when they see me losing after my surgery. havent decided to the truth or just say i diet/exercise. -
thank you.

awesome!

How much did you pay out of pocket? I have blue cross and my plan only covers 80% after my 1500 deductible. Just curious what others paid. I wont get a solid cost quote for a couple weeks. Also considering self pay in Mex.

I will double check but I'm certain it is $3500.

Dr Quinones for my teen. Good choice?
mgpino619 replied to slcmommy5's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for that information to the both of you! Ive read that review that said "learn from my mistake". It had to do with an associate the dr no longer works with and a refund situation. I visited the facility last week (i live in san diego) and i even asked about it. Thanks so much for the heads up.! -

Learn From My Mistake! Lost Money (Mexico Surgery--Quinones)
mgpino619 replied to gettingback2me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every review ive read on Dr. Q has been great. This is the same negative review on Henry ive read on many forums. Its like come on, they were trying to be reasonable. I am going to visit Dr Qs facility next week (i live in San Diego) and I plan to post about it. When posting we need to remember to be honest about everything. This woman is hurting the reputations of a reputable surgeon. -
