Angry is not the word humiliated that i pay for insurance never ever was i not covered and ppo which is a pretty penny. you know.. im just saying that was my feeling or my opinions i get it itsl like paying for car insurance never have a accident until one day you do do and they drop you or charge you OFF. Its' all a RIP oFF no matter how you slice it. it is not for the people. lol ive worked in insurance before car insurance and it was a small owners insurance company and this was like 25 years ago and i was disgusted at what i saw and had to do its all about money in their pockets nothing else.. lololol. -

do you work in an insurance company. the lady above just gave her experience as to what she has witness at her job. Unless you do work for them or own one how do you know its a myth. just curious. actually alot of people get on and have been denied several times with them having all information requested i dont know this whole thing seems like a game playing with peoples lives. like ive said in many many post over weight people (US) dont just roll off the bed one day and ask for surgery nooooooo we have been through our personal hell with emotional eating binging every single diet that comes out plastic surgery therapy medications ect ect the list goes on so it already aggravates me the questions they ask...like have you tried diet before or excercise or have youbeen to a nutritionist or check off what have you tried this whole crap is bull shytt if i just walked in to an emergency room dehydrated from not being able to keep anything with the band they immediately hook me up give me liquids send for and xray send me 3 different specialist to look at me (for 500 a pop) and give me an unfill or more iv at 300 dollars a bag i see the (this is not a bill statements ) all without asking me did you try to drink Water. how many times a day when was your last piss or sip ect ect insurance pays for it..so all the opinions or suggestions i take to heart i take what i want and leave what doesn't make sense to me. im just saying. -

Considering Mexico Bariatric Center? Yikes!
liposuction68 replied to Scott_Phoenix_AZ's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
another suggestion i can think of is when doctor comes in to check up on you (if he does) to complain to him. I'm sure for the sake of his Practice/Good Name he will get on them in whatever lanquage they understand. I would, actually i would tell the nurses myself to please clean this or do that or dont touch me what ever language expressions you use they will get the message loud and clear..and if i am in the mood i will tip them trust me the job will get done the way you like since they will be with you for the duration of your stay... -
Hey Sanchez, Hope you got what your asked for ....."Ok...So be Honest With Me....." and " ..."Hope to Ignite some Answers" You made out just like your suppose to on a open forum. (and More) no one is better than anyone here we are all here wanting to get some answers information support truth and honesty good or bad because we are all FAT, UNHEALTHY and MISERABLE and we want to make a change. the truth may hurt sometimes but it is what it is The truth. No one is here to judge and i certainly didn't get on (since No one had answered anyway) to do that. But, any whooo i hope some of your questions were answered. Good Luck on your WLS journey.. the "old bitch"

wow wow wow now i am super excited ! i have asking questions re : having surgery in Mexico JUST IN CASE MY INSURANCE ISN"T APPROVED. i contacted a few including the one my girlfriend went to. His name is Dr. Ramos Kelly. He did my girlfriends surgery (lapband) about 8 years ago.. she is still doing great she never had a problem and still doesn't she went to see him only once to get a fill under the floro and have not needed to go back . she lives in California she drove herself there. how much did they charge you for your sleeve surgery was it a revision or first time sleeve.
