I really want the surgery

[cglmit 0]

I used to be bigger but lost weight from ADHD medications so now BMI is only 32. I have PCOS, and still really want the surgery. While my insurance won't approve it, I'm willing to pay cash but rather not that much. Does anyone have advice on doing it without insurance? Like I know some people do it in Mexico etc. Or, is there a way to be part of a clinical trial so it's cheaper? I really want to do this.

If you dont mind me asking, what ADD med were you on ? I have an appt coming up with a Psych Dr. to discuss possible ADD and meds etc. Do the meds really tone down your appetite ? Also, im sorry your insurance doesn't pay for WLS surgery, they 'll pay for the dumbest things that will keep a person overweight, but not a smart thing that will enable someone to live with a healthy body. Grrrrrrrr............Anyhow, if my insurance hadnt paid, I would of financed it myself through Careacard or whatever the name of that medical program is. Im sending you positive thoughts !! Please PM me on the ADD info, I appreciate your advice or suggestions !! Good luck !!
