I change my Mind
Jeez, louise - on an OBESITY SUPPORT SITE, you actually had the GALL to call someone a PIG. You should be ashamed of yourself. You really, really should.
i am not going to get it done because it is just to dangerous
you can bleed to death and have serious complications everyoen in my area said they have serious complications and regret it my cousin almost bled to death and she vomits constantly I dont want this or need this
I am also on Texas Medicaid and there is no doctor close to me that accepts Medicaid the closest is Austin Texas 5 hours away I have to get a hotel when I go
I ws told that I would have to pay 115 dollars for the nutrition meeting and 75 for exercise and was told I would have to coem back for checkups I cant afford it i only get 674 a month after bills have about 50 left a month so I guess I will die fat but I am saved by the Blood Of Jesus so one day I will get my glorified body
Hey,
I tell you what you can do. Tell your insurance you know a lady in Tennessee that wants to have it . Tell them to send me your approval.I will call my surgeons office and my surgery as soon as they can get me in.
I have been trying to have the this surgery for months but my current insurnace has an exclusion in the policy. I am desperate and want it so bad but can't afford to pay full price for the surgery. It is hard to look at these types of post when you a struggling obese person like me.

I wasn't fortunate enough to have insurance to pay for my WLS, I self-paid and believe me although it cost allot and it set me back financially it was one of the BEST things I've ever done in my life......I was ready though and you must be ready.
I agree DON'T have WLS, you don't appear to be ready.
As for bleeding to death, serious complications and "everyone" that is BS. There are complications with WLS as with any surgery but it is not everyone.

Why did you feel the need to post you changed your mind? Why not just walk away and go on with your life? Just curious.
Well despite this I needed to SAVE my own life. I was on Ohio Medicaid, and I chose to go 2.5 hours away from home to get a good doctor, like I said the hometown doc had just left town, but I would have never had surgery in my hometown. I guess I was lucky that Medicaid paid for the nutritionist appts, etc.
I have Lipedema and Lymphedema. I also have a passion for Obesity and Health Insurance Advocacy.

First, I seriously think you should see a therapist. You have greater issues than just fearing this surgery. I hear depression screaming thru your words. Alot of us are depressed, no shame in that and it shouldnt cost you a dime, medicaid will pay for it.
Second, I dont care if your getting food stamps, your still spending a lot of money on food to be the obese person you are. No hiding that fact with this crowd. So dont tell me you cant afford a a couple hundred. Make arrangements to pay in small monthly payments. You will be amazed at the money you will save on food after surgery.
Last, you are not ready. Take your time, get your head straight and come back to it when your ready. Just do the world a favor and dont use Jesus to hide behind. Leave him out of this. He wants you to be your best, not crawl in a hole and wait for death.
I truly hope you get the help you need.
Oh and Heather, at the risk of you now attacking me, get a hold of yourself. Your fighting just to fight. Very childish.
