We've got one going, all you've gotta do is friend request Alea Birbeck & then request to join Spring 2016 VSGers

I'm having surgery April 15th in TJ with Dr. Cabrera

Which clinic ate you going to? I've been researching a lighter me, what about you? I'm going through Mexico Bariatric Center. They've been amazing!

Good morning! I did filled out my stuff back in November and was approved a couple days later but I chickened out so then I waited and tried to go through insurance here in the states but it wasn't cost effective because I'd be paying more out of pocket with my insurance so I came back to it and was able to get it financed and booked within like 3 days. I picked April because that's when I was able to get time off of work. When I booked, Tabatha, with Mexico Bariatric Center, said that Dr. Cabrera was pretty open as far as dates. Have you been approved yet??

I will be there the 14th-18th! i will be your buddy!

Yes please do! Good luck! ????

Hey! I went through them! I spoke with Tabatha, she was amazing. I booked my surgery with Dr. Cabrera for April 15th. They've got a support page on Facebook if you just want to ask questions or see other peoples stories. BariatricPal also offers packages as well. I'm not familiar with their deals but I do know that they offer them. good luck!

Yes I'm going to be in TJ! With dr Cabrera. & id love to join your group!!!

Got my call last night from my coordinator! surgery is scheduled for April 15th with Dr. Cabrera! Anyone going around that time??

I ended up switching to Aetna which was a very bad idea because once I met with my surgeon, I found out that my plan has a specific bariatric exclusion which made me so mad because now I'm paying more for a plan that does nothing. Luckily, I'm still able to be covered under my dads UHC plan which is going to cover my surgery but I do have to do the 6 month diet. But I will get there!

Thank you! I'm in Tempe actually so Gilbert isn't too bad at all but I'm not opposed to driving further for a good surgeon. It's funny you say Banner because I was just doing a little search and found that banner has that WLS location and I was pretty interested. I will definitely look into that! I think they've got some seminars that I will go to as well. Thanks again!

I am looking for a doctor in Phoenix, AZ. I've read about a couple but i've heard some bad reviews on most. Where did you go? would you recommend? Please help!

A bit TMI but I can't wait to be able to look down & actually see the lady parts! And shaving my legs won't be as difficult either! ????

Well I tried to do that but they won't talk to me until after the 1st of the year when I actually have the coverage. I know it's a short time away I'm just impatient to get everything started lol.
