I really need this surgery.

But my gp has not been able to track my weight ever, cause his scale doesn't go past 300.

Psychiatrist has been watching for 4 months though, and has it documented.

I have access to be able to pay cash if medicare won't pay.

If I'm paying cash, will things go faster, smoother?

What I mean is, will I still have to have all the comorbitities and perfect mental health... I have bipolar.

Anyone?

Please reply. Thanks.:thumbup:

Self pay will move things along a little faster but my advice is slow down, do not rush into this. This is a major commitment. It took me two years to get the surgery done, if it had happened faster I would not have been prepared.
