I was just reading through the insurance forum, because I'm pre-op and I'm always on the look-out for info about Cigna. I noticed a thread about someone asking about applying for Medicaid to cover their surgery, and someone made the comment, "I'll just keep my opinion to myself." It hit a nerve and I'm about to go off, so I'll just blame it on the diet.
How dare anyone on a SURGICAL WEIGHTLOSS FORUM judge anyone else for trying anything humanly possible to lose weight and better their lives. Really? To anyone who thinks they're better than someone else, take a look in the mirror, hun. You're obese or morbidly obese just like the rest of us. Who cares if you have private insurance, because it may or may not cover wls anyway. Sorry ya'll, but I am a nurse who works in a county hospital, and taking care of the uninsured and under-insured is my passion. That comment just really pissed me off. No one is better than anyone else here, whether you have insurance or not. That was a rude comment made by someone who is so much of a coward, they don't even have a pic of themself on their profile. Ok, I'm stepping off of my pedestal.
