  1. Lindel I feel your pain! If there is any way around that exclusion I would love to know what it is myself. I have Humana as well and they not only won't cover wls, they won't cover any bill where the Dr. Codes it as obesity. Alas I am planning to take my tax return and self pay in Mexico. Where there is a will there is a way! I wish you the best in your journey.
  2. Wow! What an emotional roller coaster! Congrats on getting the answer you were looking for! I'm a prep as well waiting for my tax return to go to Mexico as a self pay. However we get there what's important is that we get there.

    I'll introduce myself first. My name is Sherri and I'm a 38 year old nurse. I'm pre-op hoping to have my sleeve done as a self pay in Mexico next summer. I have been lurking on this site and watching people YouTube success videos for about a year now, and I am hopeful that I will be as successful as all you inspirational "losers" someday soon. Anyhoo, so my friend and I were at the mall today walking by this elderly couple when I notice them both staring at my abdominal region in a very rude, and disgusted way. So I just stared back at them to let them know they were busted and I didn't appreciate their rudeness. How did you guys handle rudeness when you were at your heaviest? I was actually feeling pretty cute today but of course I felt crappy after that. I'm sure they didn't mean anything by it but they looked like they were staring at like the fattest person they had ever seen! Now I am morbidly obese but I have feelings also! Plus I know there's that slim sexy me waiting to come out soon so I'm not gonna let it get me down. But dang!
