It is with a heavy heart that we share this news, but Slimpressions will be closing and is liquidating everything. Everything in stock is currently 50% off when you use the code SAVE50 at checkout out.
You can find some great compression garments from this business if you are pre-op, I would suggest taking advantage of this now. Many post-op patients, including OH staff, love these. They are also great for individuals with lipedema.

It has been explained to you why your account is on moderation, each notice is posted publicly since we are unable to notify you via email (which is our normal routine), due to your email bouncing back as an invalid address.
Update your email address to a viable one and we can remove the moderation. This is your third public notice. Continuation of your comments as to why you are being moderated and blaming OH staff for this when it has been conveyed numerous times to you will result in the removal of your account indefinitely.

The email came back from the host as not found, which means that the email address does not exist. You might check your settings to see which one you have in there and fix it. We did try to tell you weeks ago, via email. That is the only way we have to communicate with you is through the system automatically.
If you wish to bring up topics that are not related to WLS, you can post them in the Off-Topic forum. That is the appropriate place for anything not related to the specific boards, etc. That is our policy and we appreciate it you adhere to it. Keep in mind, posting on ObesityHelp is a privilege and you must adhere to our TOS or you can and will be moderated. This goes for every member, not just you. So, there is NO discrimination taking place.
Please let us know when your email has been corrected and we will be happy to remove the moderation.
You are on moderation at this time as you were notified via your email that is attached to your profile that some of your posts went against TOS and were removed. That was two weeks ago. However, when your email bounced as a fake account, we moderated your profile for THAT reason. So, once you fix the email address or replace it with a viable way for us to communicate with you, moderation will be removed.
This is the only reason why your account is moderated, at this time.
Thank you,
Member Services

Amy Liz, we had you removed after your first post, but I see that they are still coming up as needing approval. I have our IT staff looking into it, so please keep posting and we will get them approved a.s.a.p. Once IT finds the issue your posts will be immediate.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
P.S. Nice to see you back.
I know this is so frustrating and it is definitely a roller coaster. But, this is a hard question to answer without there being many factors taken into consideration. Each surgeon's cash price will vary and you will want to find out if they have all-inclusive pricing which would include your hospital and anesthesia. Some do, some do not. Depends on if they are an employee of the hospital they operate out of or are just privileged there.
In our experience, cash pricing in the US is best in Nevada. However, if you are willing to go to Mexico, you can get all inclusive for under $10k depending on the surgery type. If you would like assistance in getting more cash pricing info, please feel free to email [email protected] and our Member Service team will be happy to assist.
Wishing you the best,
