  1. Thank you for all your replies! Yeah i guess my first road block is insurance coverage. I work as a nanny so i am self insured and there aren't any policies i can buy that will cover it unless next year things change or i begin working with a company. I deff want & need the surgery and know i wouldn't regret it either. Question, how were you able to get it less than 5k? I was told at the clinic in houston that it was 13k.. Please share!

  4. This chat has been the greatest! Super encouraging to me and really helped me see what life will be like after the sleeve.
  5. I'm trying to get my process started and i keep hitting a road block in finding an insurance company that covers it. ????
  6. Hi there! Quick question, what year did you have your sleeve done? I just called blue cross blue shield and they said they do not cover weight loss surgery... I've called several others and they say the same. I don't get it are almost everyone in texas paying for it themselves?
  7. Hi everyone! I'm looking to get some recommendations on protein shakes that actually taste good! What protein powder do you use? I really enjoy chocolate flavor & peanut flavor. Any suggestions?
  8. Oh i'm so happy to hear this! I'm deff going to look into it ???????? thank you!
  9. Hi everyone! I'm in Houston TX and looking for an insurance that will cover my sleeve. Which insurance company did you go through or did most everyone in TX have to self pay? Can't wait to hear from you!
  10. Hi! I have a huge question! I am trying to start my wls process and get insurance verification. I currently have Molina Marketplace and it clearly says in the policy that it does not cover bariatric surgery. My question is... If it clearly says that is there anyway because of my health that they would overturn it and decide to cover it? Also what insurance companies do you guys have? I am trying to find an insurance that will cover me ???? even if i have to buy a seperate policy. Please help!
