I go 6/3 same Dr.

I'm hoping to have VSG in January with Dr. Quinones in TJ Mexico..... I've researched surgeons and he's who I feel most comfortable with.... I guess my question is- does anyone have any experience with him or know anyone around my size that has seen him.... Thanks

Sikeston

They better

Thanks everyone

Well at this point I'm at a stand still..... Got up this morning just to find out after looking at my account it has been wiped clean call the bank .... she said they will have to look into it... Looks like saving for my VSG is going to have to start all over again :-(

thank you

thank you. ... and best of luck

that's awesome....

thank you. ... ill check in to him

Thank You.... it does suck paying insurance premiums for years and the time I need it most they won't cover it because of where I live.... But it is what it is.... I'm no longer going to let this stop me....

yeah they told me it's because of the state I live in.... Which makes no sense to me I asked if I could go to another state to have it done but they still will not cover it.... I fought with him for way too long.... Trust me going abroad was not my first choice but I can't stop I have to keep moving forward

Thank You

yeah I know it sucks about the insurance but I can't let that stop me I've been waiting too long it's time to make a move..... Thank You

I have Alliance Blue Cross Blue Shield and I live in Missouri... My grandmother to type 2 diabetes...

@UrCaliGirl... I do have insurance but they will not cover it because my weight is my only health issue.... I've tried 3 times but they will not cover it so my only option is self pay.... it has not been easy to find a doctor in the u.s that would do it for me... The couple I did find wanted over $25,000 for the VSG....

Thanks

Thank You

I have a beautiful wife of 16 years, an awesome 12 year old son who has already earned his black belt in Taekwondo and plays football every season, and my baby girl my 15 year old daughter who is on traveling dance competition team and a red belt in Taekwondo.... God has truly blessed me with an amazing family.... I'm 38 years old 5'10" and weigh about 550lbs.... My breaking point... Was when my daughter asked me to be in a father daughter dance with her... I tried so hard going to her dance class learning the dane but its hard when you can barely stay on your feet 5 minutes without back pain and knees giving out... over the last few years i pretty much just sat on the sidelines of life watching my family experience life without me.... I'm hoping to get the sleeve in January of 15 Go Bears!!!

Thanks
