I am still trying to figure out how I am going to have this surgery done for myself. This is so hard to do. The money for it is so high and the Drs. are so few. The insurance companies give such a fight. It seems as though as time goes on every chance closes down for the rest of us. I, for one, am not ruling out Spain as an option. Sometimes Europe offers us what we all need. The USA should begin to hear what we are saying. We are all practically shouting the need for this and the market could be so lucrative for the Drs. here. What is the reason they are not hearing and seeing all of this? I am confused as to it all. Days gone by the insurance companies didn't have a clue as to what this really was and they were actually approving it. Then all of a sudden they are closing the doors to our health and made it their issue telling us what are fates will be without having to live it. I am saddened by the whole thing and yet I know if we are slack, none of us will be able to save ourselves from obesity. And thats all we want, right? Our lives back. Our health back. Some sanity back. Just venting but I hope there is millionaire out there who can sink dollars into the development of this procedure for the advancement of WLS in the USA too. Much LUCK to everyone on this list. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
