Where are all the MS people hiding??
mississippi_guy replied to Mississippi Gurl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Mississippi couple contemplating using Dr. Ortiz. Would like to use Oxford, but the cost is half and for two people, it is like getting a surgery free. In the process of looking at the follow-up piece, though. Hope your New Year is great! -
Mississippi Future Bandster Couple?
mississippi_guy posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My wife and I are in serious contemplation about getting banded. I am a pastor and my wife is a teacher. We have been amazed at the perceived quality of care by Dr. Ortiz in Mexico and the price. It is half the cost of a self-pay at our closest surgical clinic offering this surgery! We both have Blue Cross, but neither of our carriers covers weight-related surgeries or procedures. We are wondering a couple of things: 1) If you and your spouse did it at the same time, what was it like? 2) What is the worst thing that you have heard in terms of a complication? 3) What have you heard about excess skin and/or liposuction needs once the majority of excess weight was shed? Anyone else from Central Mississippi here? Thanks!
