Honestly i don't think the doctor is an 'ass"...u went to him seeking advice and u got it....No major surgery is not with out risks...And no amount of credentials and service of excellence can prevent accidents...In the USA or Mexico..now we are talking about Mexico How transparent are they?...Ive heard great things about the doctors in Mexico but also negatives.....its up to u to be proactive and research as much as u can...For ME when cash is involved i get jittery..thats just ME...here's hoping that ALL goes well for u...good luck!!

hiya...am also the 15th and i see my doctor on the 3rd of september...i don't know if i have to do the 10 days liquid or not..guess i'll know on the 3rd...good luck september sleevers!!!!!...woot woot!!

hahaha good luck september sleevers....!!!!

Keep working and good luck!!!!

Awww thats a great idea...in the past when i've had surgery....right before they knocked me out..i always say a prayer...or more like a Quote...#appendix

good luck!!!!....

September 15 sleever here...Woot!..Woot!..good luck ALL!

Wow i'm set for 9:15:14…but i call yesterday just because a girl in the office used the wrong word…and am less than a month away…if i was in you're position i would for sure talk to the doctor..if u can't speak to him cancel…u are self pay…that just horrible…makes me wonder about that doctor….good luck!!!

Wow sorry…thats strange i guess each state is different…?…i know for a fact that NYC covers it…good luck!

Yes from the mouth of babes..way to go be proud!!!!...u worked hard!!!

Oh dear have seen this before...my mate had gastric bypass done a few years ago...all of a sudden she's all about herself...nothing is wrong with that but its the aggressive way she talks...When we go out she will sit there and be critical of what the other mates eat...or wait until she's home to ring me stating "did she really have all that food"...and took extras, or she will say things like hmmmmm is so and so still fat....i am now a size two why don't this person join the gym...i just chalked it up to she's got her confidence back!!!!...but the good thing is u see the issue and u are seeking help...good luck!!!!!..with ya skinny self....lol

Good luck!!!..all the best!!!

I have an 18 year old son and yes a do carry on about my weight and up coming surgery...when i got the news i was approved he said..Wow i hope u don't get skinny like me ...lol..teens love u but a bit self centered...later on he said congrats mum..please don't start that bit about wearing my jeans...lols...but on the other hand he did say we can go to the gym together... ...i just asked god to get me through this and make me healthy...maybe she's scared...give her time...good luck!!!

Sorry after test and this is what i did....an outside company rented me a CPAP machine i slept with this contraction for a night and return it to the company...they studied my sleep pattern and gave the result to my doctor...i have mild sleep apena...i do snore according to my niece and son.. lol

Good luck!!!

WOW!!!!…FANTASTIK!!!!!..@@LipstickLady!!!!!

Both test are quite easy.. what @@Beagle put to slp...i did both and was wide awake....now the EDG i was knocked out...

Well the doctor put tubes down you're nose..and if i recall correctly..u inhale a few look in the ears...while you are hooked up to a machine...the end !!!..easy peasy!!

Hater ALERT!!!!!!...ppl think its just surgery they just dont know!!!!!...good for U!!!!...

No worries Nate..i thought my surgery would never happen…read as much as u can from this site…write you're questions down go in prepared…My questions were..even though i already know was which surgery was best for me..how much weight would i loose…how long is the recovery…would i have any deficiencies after surgery…good luck

I don't have you're Insurance but my BMI is low but i do have comorbidities and i got approved…we are truly bless..good luck to u!!!

Oy vey...that just terrible wow!!!!...my surgery date is 9/15.14 thats not good but i'll keep u in my prayers and thoughts...Think positive that all this will work it self out....good luck!!!

U did say u told you're surgeon u will follow and not lose...and his response to u ...the doctor is the expert just listen to him and stop playing the mind games with you're self...where did u get that idea from?...U should search this site and see the many articles and ppl way older than u and the amount of weight they lost ...u really need to be positive about the surgery....meno or not!!1

Oh but am in NYC...don't know how UHC applies form state to state!!!

I have UHC also..My paper work was submitted ob July 17th ....was denied because of missing chemical blood work...resubmitted a week later and approved after i call UHC on August 5th and was told i was still in denial....by august 6 got the call from my surgical coordinator that i was approved...a few days later i got a letter from UHC that i am approved...good luck!!!!!!
