Topic: RE: I got screwed over
I was originally scheduled for pre opt June 22, and surgery july6th. oh and told to lose 14 pds by my surgery date. Well i was rescheduled for surgery July 13, and then got a phone call that it is pushed back to July 20th. well I have lost the weight and lets not forget will have been on a liquid protein diet for 30 days the day of surgery. It is crazy, I know. So im praying this Wednesday morning I will be under the knife. This liquid diet is literally driving me crazy , very week, and very constipated. I wish you luck. Leigh U can call me if u like. 225-675-7035

I'm not sure about finance companies, you could try a personal loan through your bank if you have one or try a few smaller banks they seem to be more willing to do a low loan like that.
I just got lucky and got a big bonus which funded my surgery or i would still be waiting to have mine done.

Total Out of pocket was $14,000
there is cheaper places in houston an in Louisiana, but after talking to afew people
and not wanting to travel and all that stuff, saving $2,000 - $3,000 wasn't that important to me.
I called around 10 places in Houston an another 5 or so in Louisiana, all of the prices was between $11,000 - $14,000 the cheaper ones didn't include the blood work, chest xrays, EKG's and all that stuff. I am very glad i went with Dr. Chung tho.

I had Dr. Chung,
Dr. Chung and his staff are very good. I was very well informed on the sleeve way before i
actually went into Dr. Chungs Office. So my experince will differ from most. I went in and did my intial consultation, one of the nurses will sit down and talk with you and go over everything at first and get you to watch a video of the surgery. Dr Chung will come in and then talk with you about everything and answer any questions you have.
I was put on a diet for 30days to try to lose about 30lbs i got down 19lbs on a modified diet of 800cals aday. They prefer you on the atkins diet tho. I was self pay so my surgery was actually 28 days out from my first talk with Dr. Chung.
as far as bed side at the hospital Dr. Chung is the best doctor i've had. The hospital staff was great also, I had to stay 2 nights because of nausea.

I had problems with my pre op and now post op appt in the manner of being told i only had X amount to do ( i live 2 hours aways) but then it ended up being a lot more... no one told me to lose any weight before i started liquids either... louisianacountrygirl didnt you say you had to go back at 2 weeks then 2 months??? because they are making me go every 2 weeks for the first 3 months.. and to be honest im not going to all those appts.. im going on the 20th and if ok im gonna start seeing my pcp because they dont do anything but look at incisions....
