    Im sorry. There are always peer to peers and appeals. And Tijuana was great for me, always something to consider. I used Dr Garcia and everything was beyond my expectations

    Thank you for that so it's not that bad coming out of surgery who was your dr.

    Dr Garcia at CER Hospital. Excellent experience

    I received my second denial. This insurance approval, either loses paperwork or adds something else to have xompleted.

    I was so up set with my first one.

    I think they want me to give up

    I am not a quitter.

    Still fighting.

    Blossom Bariatrics! They are amazing. Dr Apel did my surgery and their insurance support staff are amazing. From my initial appointment to my surgery date was 4.5 weeks. I am so thankful

    I found them. I originally went to Dr. Hanna and switched. Best decision I could have made.
