I love Dr. Washington's group. I have been with them since December and my surgery date is April 29th. The process has been wonderful so far and I wouldn't change a thing other than the 3 week liquid diet!
HELLO IM PLANING HAVE GASTRIC BYPASS I WANTED TO KNOW WIT BLUE CHOICE HOW LONG DID IT TAKE THEM TO APPROVE U? DO THEY MAKE YOU DO DA 6 MONTHS THING R JUST 3 MONTHS
I was wondering if you could tell me what his surgeon's fee is. I was supposed to get an email today with that info, and I didn't now the office is closed, and we have to have it by my pre op on Friday. I'm so excited, I just want to get my ducks in a row! Thanks in advance!
I have actually been considering that. However, what happens if I have surgery there and then complications when I get home? That is what scares me. Who was your surgeon in Mexico?

Dr. Ross is one of the best. I had him in January 3 years ago. I live in NC, but preferred to go to SC so I could have him be my suregon.
After much research I was able to obtain the answer myself and am posting it here in case anyone else wondered. They have extended the study through 2014. They state that this does NOT mean that they will cover WLS after that time. So, basically, wait for two more years and it MIGHT happen or might not.
2013: 20 Funny New Year's Resolutions
When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year. Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!
1. I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!
2. I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!
3. I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.
4. I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day. Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.
5. I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!
