Insurance is a waste of time!

I sit here reading all of the blogs on here and all of the crazy medical crap people have to go through for their insurance to even consider them for bariatric surgery and I can only think that it is a complete waste of time! Save yourself time and money and just to go Tijuana and get banded by Dr. Pompa. I paid $5000 for a total package. I didn't have to screw with insurance crap, thousands of dollars worth of tests or all of the maybies that come with the insurance hassle. They were awesome over there. They treat you like royalty and the package includes everything including all of your fills. I hate reading the blogs of people who want and need the surgery so badly but their insurance treats them like someone trying to cheat the system. Do insurance companies not realize how much this surgery can save them in the long run?!?! This kind of crap is exactly what's wrong with our country right now. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now but I wish I could find a way to help the people who are struggling so hard to get approved.

I wish in Canada that insurance companies gave you the option of having wls.... I believe we are further behind in times then US... Crazy stuff..
