Sorry for the delay in answering, I had coventry insurance and everything in it said it would not pay anything but I told the hospital to submit it anyway so it would still count towards my deductible and the insurance paid it. I was pleaseanly suprised. I would love to move this post but I don't know how. Sorry

We decided to help our daughter have surgery so I can't tell you how many hours I spent doing research before we picked MGB with Dr David Hargroder in Joplin. Her surgery was Feb 2009. She lost 143 pounds in 15 months and then the tornado hit Joplin. She was a crisis counselor at the time. Last year she moved and took another job and she has started losing weight again Last year I started having a lot of health issues so again I started doing research and again I decided Dr H was the best and I had my surgery Nov 2014 I am down 50 pounds and my health issues are gone and I feel 100% better. I wish I had done it years ago. My sleep apnea, diabeties, high cholestrol, problem with my veins in my legs and bladder control are all better to name a few. I started doing Zumba two days a week and walking all the time. I had to stay in the hospital an extra day when I had surgery and I have had some minimaul problems eating but it's all worth it.
