Putting it off...



Recommended Posts

We are postponing my surgey. I am possibly going to change school districts and the new ones insurance pays fir lap band plus pays better and better insurance premiums. So I am sad to wait but it isn't too much longer. I have been waiting 10 years what's a few more months.

Good luck!! In the meantime, put into practice all that you've learned, so by the time of surgery comes, you'll be a pro!

I know you're going to do great. Timing is everything. It took a lot of years for me to get this surgery. My prior insurance company wanted $3800 cash upfront. I did not have it. Then I was contemplating going to Mexico for surgery because it wasn't much more than what my insurance wanted upfront. Then there were co-pays, etc. I decided to change insurance companies because my co-pays kept going up with the old insurance. My new insurance had no co-pays for routine office visits AND they paid for medically necessary Lapband surgery. So, I delayed my Mexican surgery and found out that as long as I went to a surgeon in their network, I was covered! I'm happy I waited and who knows what would have happened if I went to Mexico? I am happy that I know I have a 10cc band instead of the 4cc band I may have been given if I had my surgery done in Mexico. I have nothing against having surgery in Mexico but when I wanted it way back when I would have been giving a 4cc band.

So you see, timing is everything!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
