I drink the Atkins Protein shake, it has 15g protein. My daughter uses gummy vitamins. (She had lap band in May). Forgive my ignorance, what's unjury?

My surgeon is Dr. Quinones. I have been in touch with several people that got their sleeve with him and they say he was very good. I am excited but at the same time nervous. I am the mother of 3, ages, 21,17 and 16, My oldest is in college and the other 2 are on the way. I just finalized my divorce in November. I'm getting a brand new lease on life. WATCH OUT NOW!!

I'm in - I go in feb 4 and so excited I can't wait

What insurance is everyone using? For those going to Mexico, what's the cost? And the procedure?

Yes unjury is good but could be costly bc the shake container is not big - but overall pretty good and there is a really good tasting one from vitamin shoppe I will get the name of it and post "anabolic muscle"

Bcbs - and no anthem should not deny u no worries bc anything u were pre approved for will care over

I've got an aetna ***. I'm worried about how much it's going to cost. the cost last year was 18k for the procedure. I have a 1500 deductible and I'm not sure how to ask how much it's going to cost. They haven't talked about pricing at all. I just don't want to get the surgery and figure out that they were out of network. I mean, I got the letter of approval but I'm not sure if that really means coverage. Feels a little ridiculous to be this close and not know these things.

since when is h m o a dirty word?

My doc doesn't submit until all the requirements are met. So I won't know until mid February.
