Im having a HUGE problem with my doctor,she wont even join the fight with me to get payment for my Lapband Surgery because she says they'll turn me down because I have no major health problems,besides the fact of what runs in my family and my BMI being 36.9(202lbs) at 5'2 inches tall in height. I Need A SUPPORTIVE DOCTOR,any one know any in the Cincinnati,Ohio area?so that I may have support while trying the insurance companies for payment to get the surgery?

May I ask Mari posa ,well first I am so glad you are okay ! You are a brave one...I would like to know what are the contact details for the surgeon in Mexico that did your LipoSculpture.

For patients without insurance and patients that can't get financed,PLEASE check it out and post if you fill it'll benefit some posters on the Lapbandtalk forums. Link below: http://www.docpay.com/patient/ Doctors please check this out.

I had no insurace,so the exclusions werent as much of the problem..It was MONEY! Good Luck

I have posted many posts,about how to get insurance approval or how to get a loan,I could'nt get either because of my credit score.I was watching ABC News: C:My DocumentsAbcNewsProsper.htm and they talked about People to People loans,borrowing from common people. It's great and it did work for me. The link to this site is below: http://www.prosper.com/public/groups/group_home.aspx?group_short_name=ProsperNLose

Once you've(#1) joined ProsperNLose and (#2)your membership has been approved (takes anywhere from 8-12 hrs,so group leader can view your request) ,(#3)click on the Borrow tab,it will then give you step by step instructions.(#4)Request amount needed,no more than $25,000.(#5)Then sit back and wait for bids to come in. Hope this helps all!

Try it, you can join the group for free,thats what I did,because my credit score is not even 600,yes I messed up terribly! you do not have to take the loan if you dont want too,but lenders will try to offer you a loan for low interest rates thats why they place bids on your loan,more forgiveness when dealing with regular people.

Please List,let me know also if consistant Heart Burn or Acid Reflux is a reason. Thanks.

I have desperately been looking for years now,and I promised myself if I found anything helpful,I would spread the news to all. I've encountered people in the same situation as myself all the time. ~ :girl_hug: Hope this works for all:clap2: ~

Or you can just get a loan and stil go to Mexico-lol I got a low interest loan with my low credit score at Prosper -the group is Weighting To Lose Bariatric Surgery Loans. It a People to People Loans,I'm a real visitor here and I was approved for a loan so I could stay in the states.

I am very interested in taking or knowing more about Byetta, I just decided today I would go back on Phetermine which caused chest pains, because I am getting bigger by the day, and I hurt alot because I cant carry the weight at 5'2, 208lbs, either way I'm still wasting away. Anyone tell me more send a link. NOT BANDED:cry

Congrats..potential winner!! I hope you'll reveal yourself... how much more revealing is this board :nervous ,cause alot of us gave some very personal info in hopes to win the lap band. So this will really help us fill that we did'nt spill out our guts for nothing..to know someone benefits from this prize! makes it all worth while. Come into the light

Thankyou Mindful,Im gonna put in at a bank,I was debating this.

I just wanted to be apart of this thread,Im just now leaving a message for the insurance cordin at Dr.Curry's office in Cincy,this is gonna be a long process but Im gonna be patient:phanvan . I have Medicaid right now,so that probably isnt gonna help.So Im now starting to interview with some companies in hopes to get a job with great benefits.I did not want to work while in school,but its sounds like I have to now. Hey,how do you find out if an employer offers the Weight Loss Surgery benefit?without scarring them off.:paranoid Let's keep in touch Ohio!! Shay
