Pre-surgery HOOPS

Very frustrated...having to diet (now) 5 more months with PCP supervision before Aetna will pay. This is more frustrating than ever before. I'm finding what liquids agree with me for the two pre op liquid only, weaning myself off of carbonation, and all the t ime...knowing as of January..I'll have my Lap Band and a one ounce pouch. Thus, frustrated and curious as to the why this must happen. Did you folks go through this as well. I'm watching what I eat, but I will be completely honest in saying...I'm not dieting strictly...so, tell me somethin' good about this! I still am smiling, but with a big 'ol question mark in the middle of my forehead!

Hi Patricia, I also had Aetna and decided not to jump through all the hoops! Since you live in Texas you may be able to do what I did! I went to Mexico......yes, Mexico. No hoops and cheaper than what my co-pay would have been! Wonderful experience....better care than I have ever gotten here in the states on other surgeries. Google Bariatric centers in Mexico. I went to Tijiuna but I think there are some in Monterrey...If you need more info I am here. I set it up and had it done within 6 weeks! I had the surgery done July 1st....have lost 48 pounds so far including the 11 before surgery. Oh, I live in Arizona. Dee
