Go ahead and delete it. I'll blast this app with a terrible review.

Is that cleaned up Carolina girl? Lol. This app is a total partisan joke

Why did you delete this comment? Because I offended you?

Oh my goodness that is terrible!! In some states insurance is giving policies back. Do you live in a state that has made a decision yet?

Against forum rules.

So your not proud to be an American now because i insulted somebody from another country whom first insulted America as a whole? What a shame. I'm proud to be an American no matter what. The rules of this Bariatric app do not suggest that all threads be about WLS. This thread, however, is specifically about a problem with my band and the fact that i can no longer see my dr because due to obamacare my insurance was canceled. I was somlly looking for suggestions I to my problem. I cannot help that other subscribers have commented, merely stating their frustrations, to the current political events leading up to my crisis. Now, if you do not like any of the comments in this thread then I shall respectfully inform you that as a fellow ,Bariatric pal subscriber you can simply just not look, read or reply. My comments certainly are not in the form of a tirade as I am not angry, criticizing or making accusations. I am simply speaking in defense of this country that you were once proud to be a part of. If you read back through these messages you will see that I updated this thread with my current situation (regarding my lapband) and I thanked everyone for commenting. That included the people with political views I don't share. Thanks and have a great day.

Comparing a 300 Million strong, four-timezone (six timezones if you add HI and AK) MONSTER to NZ is entertainment, nothing more. I laugh at your efforts. USA is still the best place to do business. The opportunities are more abundant and the ability to expand is limitless. In the USA you can grow up poor and die rich leaving millions to 4 generations. In NZ you work just to live. In NZ people cash in their holidays just to get by and make it paycheck to paycheck. Wages are not competitive in NZ. As a matter of fact wages are in the pooper. Usa is way more developed and advanced from malls, theatres, sport, colleges, etc My income in the US allows me to live very comfortably, with numerous choices, high quality everything. I do work a lot. No doubt about it. But 10% of my check goes directly into savings. My husbands too. So you see, i can afford a fill, however, i never touch my savings and it is never included in our budget. Ever! In NZ I'd be poor, living in squalor with fewer choices.You said if my pure capitalist country was working for me then id be able to afford insurance and christmas. Are you a complete idiot? Because this entire posting has been about me paying for my own health care and the ACA caused it to be cancelled. My insurance, that i pay for on my own, paid for my surgery and ALL 8 of my fills. I love living free. I love going to work and paying for my OWN healthcare. It's so rewarding. In NZ interest rates are high. Mortgages can not be fixed for 30 years like in the US. I feel if you are ambitious which you should be, then your chances are better in a bigger country like the US. NZ IS lousy for business and not a place to aspire to become someone big. If someone wanted to move to NZ my advice would be Make your bucks and then move to NZ. I would, however, tell them their life expectancy will be cut in half since everyone knows KIWIS CANNOT DRIVE. Suicide rates are higher. The only thing that's abundant in NZ is meth. Oh and let's not forget your economy thrives on tourism.

Canada? Lol ok. Is that why so many Canadians come to the US for healthcare? Canada can't even afford their own military. How many people are in the military now 4 or 5? Socialism is a bankrupt, discredited, and flawed nineteenth century theory that has failed miserably in countries around the world. The only thing socialism has brought is poverty, misery and tyranny. It doesn't work in Cuba, China, Europe (except Poland), East Germany, Venezuela, Soviet Russia...Canada cant even afford its own damn military! Number one reason it doesn't work GREED. The people writing the policies create loopholes for themselves to take advantage of. Our socialist government recently fid that. Let's not forget LAZINESS. People are no longer as motivated to work for their success, because their basic needs are met. Socialism has failed in other countries because it eliminates the incentive to work. Australia and Britain, have briefly flirted with Socialism. Needless to say they are no longer a socialist society! We need more capitalism! 3 reasons Only businesses create wealth by selling goods and services. This creates jobs. Government cannot create wealth; it can only transfer resources. Free enterprise, not the government, reduces poverty and generates jobs. The government’s War on Poverty begun in the 1960s has been an abject failure and has led to dependency, not to employment self-sufficiency. And that is the goal!!

UPDATE: My band has completely settled down. In my opinion it tightened up due to my monthly cycle. I haven't had a cycle in two years so this was my first one with the band. I'm guessing it's because of water retention. Everything seems fine now and if I have another cycle I'm going on liquids!!!! Thank you to everyone that responded!

I've had my insurance for almost ten years. Your grasping for reasons to stay in this conversation. Just stop. Your trying to sell your opinion while getting blasted with facts.

The sun isn't mentioned in the ACA? Here's another fact. I was promised I could keep my insurance by the President of the United States and all along he knew I couldn't. I loved my insurance. My insurance company was kind enough to provide me with bariatric surgery and they've paid for all of my fills. Obamacare offers nothing for bariatric patients. Again, if there was no ACA I would still have my insurance. Before ACA I had insurance. After ACA I lost my insurance.

You'll continue to point out nonsense? Let me guess, you still have your insurance? I'm not spouting off out of frustration. I'm spouting facts. And to quote 2muchfun Before obamacare I had insurance. After insurance I dont. Those are the facts.

Thank you!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!! I gave you a big woop woop!

5 million doesn't seem like a lot? What if that were money. Would 5 million seem like a lot then? The ACA was unwrapped plagued with major problems. I've lost my insurance and I can't sign up because the website is an utter failure. Only 50,000 a day can sign up with no crashes. I work 75, sometimes 80 hours a week just to make ends meet. I did what I'm supposed to and I should be rewarded with insurance that I'm paying for myself. I didn't ask for any entitlements. I go to work and then I come home and take care of my family. Now all the bums who REFUSE TO WORK are entitled to the same benefits as us hard working Americans and I'm paying and suffering for it. I've taken off work all week because I can't function with my band like this. I can't pay out of pocket because I have 4 teens to feed and buy Christmas for. I've worked my ass off for years and my thanks is, congratulations. ...you no longer have insurance and the insurance we're gonna FORCE you to buy comes with much higher premiums all so everything is fair and equal in the world. If this is such a good program then why does the government say this applies to everyone except for them. Socialism! I pray everyday the GOP repeals this.

Lol your right. They've been exposed by a very "honest" government who is more then willing to take your money and provide you with "great healthcare". What could go wrong when the government gets involved? Lol that's a laugh
