What Company Can I Work For In South East Az That The Insurance Will Cover Lapband?



Recommended Posts

The only travel warning I have seen or heard about relating to Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada have been to exercise caution if traveling at night.

Anyways it is your choice. I would gather as much information as possible if I was you regarding any place you choose to have surgery including Mexico.

ee cheri that does sound scary. im so conflicted. Im not going anywhere right now. I did find a place in houston that does it for 7900.00 Thats a pretty good price. They seem to be well known in the area also. I have alot more reseach to do before i make the decision. Thanks for everyones opinions and posts.

That figure is total deaths related to the cartel. How many were actually involved in the drug trade and how many were tourists?

hmmm good question. I watch a show on i think discovery the other day "mexican drug war" It did speak of Tijuana alot but they also mentioned that they dont bother tourist because they like the tourist because they help econically and spend money. I dont know. Im just going to wait until i feel comfortable with either here or there i guess. I dont want to make a rash decison,plus i still need to come up with funds for either place. I kind of wanted to know what amount i was needing but i guess ill just shoot high for now. 001_huh.gif its so interesting the very strong and opposite views people are giving me reguarding to go mexico or us. Im taking both into consideration right now. ahhh so confuesing!

Does it really matter what nationality they were? They are people. The tourist can't spend their money if the stores are closed as many are. But I am giving up. If you decide to go to Mexico please be careful it really is dangerous. May God protect you and all who decide to go. Good luck to you.

What I was saying that quoting that over 30,000 people have been killed in the drug wars needs to be put in persepctive. That number can be used to account for deaths over a period of 20 years. A high percentage could account for the actual people involved in the cartel themselves.

The US probably has similar numbers of people killed while involved in the drug trades if you spread it to the beginning of problems with drugs. Yes there are innocent people killed and get caught in crossfire but to quote that over 30,000 people have been killed in Mexico makes it seem that you are insinuating that they were all tourists there just minding their own business.

Did you read the part that said “4 Years”? We will just have to agree to disagree.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
