Hello Slamdunk, I am going to a Spire Hospital. If you look through their web site it has all sorts of info and telephone numbers. They are very approachable. See if they have one near you. FYI Banks offer the best interest rates if the hospitals dont do zero percent. Good luck

Hi Slamdunk

I had my Gastric sleeve done in Turkey buy a fantastic company 2 years ago. And just returned to have a Tummy Tuck ect . It is so much cheaper to get it done here than in UK a quarter of the price. And 6 star travel 24 hour nurse picked up in limo.

If you want there info drop me a message I am in Manchester

Earl

I also had shoulder surgery. It was called arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The operation is not difficult but very expensive. At that time, I did not have that kind of money and I was also looking for a way to pay for the operation. In the end, I decided to take out a loan, I used https://fitmymoney.com/ for this. Naturally, I was scared at first. I have never taken out a loan for this amount. But my friends supported me and said that there is nothing wrong here. Exactly a year ago I paid it off and now I really understand that such things need to be used. Not all people have such huge sums at once on hand.

Hi there! Oh, I'm really sorry to hear about your health concerns. I suggest you to consider checking out resources like the NHS or financial advisors who can help you with financial planning. Besides, they may give some insights regarding other options for medical procedures. Do your research and find a suitable specialist. Furthermore, reliable websites, such as humaninvesting.com, may provide helpful information on responsible finance and investment strategies. I hope you'll find my advice helpful!

      I weighed 199 pounds (90 kg) this morning! I felt accomplished and happy, and celebrated by going to the gym to lift some weights. Hoping everyone else out there is making progress, whether you are pre- or post-op 😊
      Today is 7 weeks and two days post-op for me. I've been through two stalls already, but I am sticking to the program. I want long-term success from all of the sacrifice and pain. You all know I mean!

      Okay so, as of yesterday my insurance company contacted me direction to say, that I was approved and have completed all the required items on the "To Do List". so, I should be getting my appointment next week for meeting with the Anesthesiologist. I'm very excited/nervous, but extremely happy too.

      Tomorrow will be 7 weeks since surgery. Yesterday i found that I was able to finally drink more than a sip at a time. I am SO grateful! I have always loved drinking water and it has been my primary beverage for most of my life; losing the ability to drink a lot of it was my first post-surgical regret. Being able to drink more than a tiny sip at a time makes me feel so much more normal.
      I'm eating around 500-700 calories a day, and have hit my second stall. I have begun to only weigh myself once a week. I've made to the gym twice since surgery, but I've been walking my pup and walking at work up to 3 miles a day on average.
      I've also been using resistance bands and stretching. I'm not quite ready for twisty yoga stuff yet. Or jogging. I did do a 10+ mile bicycle ride last weekend with a friend to a coffee shop where I had a cold decaf coffee with half and half. That was another activity that made me feel kinda normal.
      I'm still drinking one protein drink a day, trying to hit my goal of at least 60 grams a day. Today I got 72 in thanks to a cold G Zero with 10 grams.
      My abdomen is still a bit sore in general. The way I understand it, the inside is not fully healed until 3 months after surgery. That means sometime around November 1st. This is when I will go on the forever way of eating according to my provider's plan. I look forward to that day.
      Oh! And I should mention that I learned about a chain restaurant that is in about 30 or so states. It is called Clean Eatz, and they have a menu that is friendly to we bariatric patients. My support group last night talked about getting pizza and flatbreads from there. I checked it out and it looks like it's both eat-in and takeaway. This is the first place I'm going when I feel ready to eat out again

      Does anyone know, how long it takes for Medicare to approve surgery?

        I think it depends entirely on what guidelines you're being referred under. I had that kind of insurance through the state as a low-income person for 10 years and even though I was over 400 lb for 10 years they denied me. All based on the fact that I did not have diabetes. I switched insurances once I was offered a different kind of coverage from work and was approved within two months

        Medicare or Medicaid?

        They both have a serious of hoops to jump through before you can meet the surgeon. After you meet the requirements and as long as you do not run into any gatekeepers, the surgery will be okayed by your insurance pretty quickly after the surgeon clears you. One other consideration is when the clinic will actually schedule you for surgery THAT can take awhile depending on how backed up they are.
