I did not tele my family but since I'm traveling from NYC t denver and have 2 kids, I told my family I had to remove the appendices in Denver as I lost job insurance and could afford NYC doctors. That's what I said and no one is going to make me say something else. They think I'm going for lipo, gosh I got offended by the comments, LMAO.... I'm leaving Monday, surgery Tuesday. I did tell a couple of friends since I was looking for someone to come w me but they all refused to come. Some I told them I cancelled it, about 3 friends know I'm heading there to do it. I know they will suspect something is going on when I start losing, but that's my business and I will tell them the truth, "I no longer eat the way I used to." And if anyone insists in knowing what's going on, I"ll tell them the truth, "have liquids for 1 month, chew slowly, don't drink and eat, have lots of protein, excersice, bla blah blah blah lolololololol

Wish me lol

Hey, how r/u? Isolated? Tell me about it. My surgery is next Tuesday and my family is not seven aware. I toldd them I was having appendices removed. I'm going to Denver from NYC all alone to have this surgery. Why I didn't tell u might ask? Well, my friend tell me tell u that they would never support me on this and they would criticize me for the rest of my life. I have a fat sister and even she criticize my weight. They tell me, u are too young to be fat, but they would have never support me on this. My children are staying w my mom and I'm traveling all alone to do this. Toomuchfun, I'm coming t denver Monday, withstand me luck!

I just found these docs/ clinnics who are willing to take me, Bronxville bariatrics, westchester county (300-500 fill) NYU bariatrics, manhattan (500 fill) Jacobi hospital bariatrics (made appt w their surgeon) take all major insurance, no self paid I also found several private clinics in Teaneck, NJ, Brooklyn, NY, Long Island St. Luke's hospital in NYC

Thanks for writing about it. How did u feel the following day. Ay pain? Were u able to walk, move around?

Thanks, I agree w/ u.

This is so ridiculous, how can a doc know what's your legal address? How can he know whether u are new to that state or not? I see this as a major problem for people who have bands. Once you are treated by a doctor (for whatever reason) you become a liability... Once he touches you, cold, labor, fever, whatever reason. Therefore, a band is no exception t the rule. I have a thiriod condition, I'm on meds. I have seen different doctors and they all do blood work and give me meds. No doctor has ever asked me, why didn't u come to me for radioactive meds since right there I could have made 20k. And, like I said b4, my primary physician gave me a referral for lapband follow ups w/ in her hospital. I called to make my appointment as recommended. now I found this! She can't believe either... She tells she never heard about this b4. But since some people here are talking to me in a manner which I do not appreciate, I have decided not to talk about this issue here anymore! BTW, my doc talked to ER and she was informed that I could go there, should I have any complications and from there I would b referred to bariatrics.

Thks guy for your advice. I already paid for surgery and have my flight and hotel, so there is no cancellation. Well, the ER will have t refer me to an specialist. So, if my doctor dies, moves out of state no other doctor would see me? What the fok!

Thanks! I will keep on searching. I'm not canceling my op. hey, I see myself in the ER monthly doing my fills... I won't mind.

LMAO!

What's the point abt dieting b4 surgery. Anyone knows?

That sounds great!

My surgery is the 19. My doctor in Colorado has me doing Atkins. Avoid carbs at all cost.

My surgery day is feb 19 self paid. I'm traveling from NYC to Colorado, but can't find someone to come w me (everyone has refused). Clinic said I must have someone. I'm trying to hire a nurse/clinic in Colorado that could care for me post surgery. Has anyone faced this problem? Any suggestion?

Thanks

I'm going to pay about 10k

How is it around there?

I'm flying there since surgery in NYC is wayyyyy to expense. I just hope for the best. In this site we have pp who have traveled all around the world to do the surgery. My insurance might cover follow ups if not, I ll pay it.

I'm gonna need a fill doctor, dani where is yours?

Girls I'm gonna give u my number, I want all details. Mine is the 19.

Yes, my doc connected me w an agency.

Omg dani ur surgery is almost here!

I'm on a low carb diet. I eat mets and veggies but I had lots of carbs today.
