I really want the surgery



Recommended Posts

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 !!

      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...

        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.
