    I am just wondering what everyone who was/is on birth control pills did. The first dr i went to said i had to stop taking them 4 wks prior up until 2 wks after surgery. I have since changed drs and they said i don't have to stop taking them at all before surgery. Now, i know there aren't any general guide lines so i am just wondering what everyone else was told.

    Medicine

    mmorris4 replied to Heidi.E's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Every Dr. is different. The first group i went to they said i would have to go off my birth control pills 4 wks prior until 2 wks after. I ended up changing my Dr. and the new one says i don't have to go off my pills. I also called my gyno and they said that i don't have to either seeing as i am not new to taking the pill.

    Hernia repair

    mmorris4 replied to parhtx's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My insurance does not cover WLS. I didn't have any symptoms for a hernia other then the occasional heart burn. I had my EGD done and have a pretty bad hiatal hernia. Now, my insurance would cover that but my surgeon will not bill my insurance for the hernia (he feels it's not ethically right for some reason) so i have to pay out of pocket for that as well and hope that insurance will reimburse for SOME of the hernia repair.

    Birth control pills

    I also have United and it is NOT included in my insurance plan. The whole you pay 20% is wrong. I can guarantee if you call back and ask about it they will tell you that they don't cover ANYTHING. I am self pay because of this as well. I am also on my husbands insurance plan. Good luck. I personally think it should be covered on all plans.

    What was everyone told in regards to their birth control pills? Is it the norm to have to go off them 4 wks prior until 2 wks post op? Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Yes, you are very lucky. My husband also works for a big Fortune 500 corporation, they just exclude wls out of the plan unfortunately. Congrats on your new journey.

    Is anyone from the Chicago area/suburbs? Just wondering who your dr. is?
  12. mmorris4
    @@JapGirl can you please email me michelemorris1998@yahoo.com That is EXACTLY what i was hoping my dr. could do. The only difference is my insurance doesn't cover any wls but they will cover the hernia surgery.

    Which credit card did you find for 36 interest free?
  14. mmorris4
    Did this include EVERYTHING. Hospital, anesthesiologist? Did you have to prepay 100% before the surgery?
  15. mmorris4
    One more question for self-payers in the states. Did you have to pay in full prior to surgery?
  16. mmorris4
    Thank you for all the responses
  17. mmorris4
    Yes, i did find it, thanks. That doesn't change my view on him though.
  18. mmorris4
    Thank you. I don't know if that is the Dr. with a big lawsuit. I haven't come across anything
