HI you can read my whole lapband story on my profile but I am being sleeved May 2. So ill let you know how it goes :)
Have you called their office at the weight management clinic to ask about the cost? There are also loans you can take out as well if needs be my best friend had to take out a small bank loan to get her surgery! I'd be a bit leery about going to Mexico for surgery, I mean you do have to have follow ups for the rest of your life it is important to have a good doctor and close by but that's just my two cents.
I live in Rock Hill SC and I went to Charlotte. I used Dr Melkonian at Carolina Surgical. I highly recommend them. They have an office on Randolph Rd and one in Matthews. The have support groups too.
Good Luck to her!
My Boyfriend & I inquired first about the new FDA approved diet pill, Qsymia. We met all health requirements BUT found this out too. That SC STATE covers NO weight loss help. My boyfriend was searching further into bariatric surgery sounds more sensible & long-term safer effect. If someone else or you has found or find out anything different, I welcome your help/ suggestions. I find it hilarious we are in the "grease frying" state but the insurance won't help with lowering BMI. I know we got here ourselves but not wanting to die young. THANKS!
Thanks, I had my WLS on July 11,2012 as of today I have loss 110LBS and living my life, best thing I ever did! And Dr. Washington was GREAT!! Wish you the best!!
