Boy this insurance stuff sounds like a real mess. I am just starting with everything. I hope I can figure it out. Reading all the threads has taken a long time but really helps. It sounds to me if you can get the doctor to contact the insurance it goes a lot easier than if you try to do it yourself. As much as I have read those that do it themselves have more hoops to jump through and it takes a lot longer to qualify. Does that sound right to all of you. Good dieting Pickles123 -
Hi: I ws wonder who you went to for your surgery. I live in Gilbert Az and I am looking for a surgeon. I kind of like Dr. Simpson in Glendale.
Anything else you can tell me will be appreciated.
Thanks

HI: Bevanfranks: I have just registered so I guess I am still a visitor until everything is done. I am Pickles123. I was reading in Banded by Dr. Simpson that you are also a self pay. Can you tell me how much you had to pay and if you had to pay for the fills?
I looked into having this surgery over a year ago but I chickened out. I am so glad there is another forum that is not connected with the office that you can get the honest truth on.
I am still really afraid and since it is self pay I want to be really certain. Did you get you insurance to pay for the up front tests. I have read all Dr. Simpsons information but just was wondering if I could ask you some of the personal questions more privately.
Thanks for any information you can provide and good luck on your quest.
Good dieting
