Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Beth would you mind writing me and telling me about your self-pay experience. My insurance has denied me, and I am determined about having the surgery. My funds are not unlimited, so I am a little worried. If you could offer any advice, it would be appreciated. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Hi Amy! I am from Michigan also and would be a self-pay also. What step are you in the process?

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 - I'm not from Michigan but did notice that you would be a self-pay. My insurance denied the procedure yesterday so I'm desperately attempting to find an alternative financing plan. Any ideas? Thanks. Tarri Re: New & need contacts. > Hi Amy!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 tarri, Im still searching also. My bank will do it as a personal loan but for a whooping 15.9% interest rate...so needless to say i am still looking for a better rate. If you find something better let me no, you can email direct at bluemoney@..., Thanks Amy-MICH. > - > I'm not from Michigan but did notice that you would be a self-pay.

I had my MGB on 7/17/00 so I'm now 7 weeks post-op with no problems. I'm eating just about anything I want and I've had no trouble with dumping or vomiting. This was the best decision I ever made and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm divorced so I don't have a supportive spouse, but my family was very supportive of my decision. Even my ex thought it was a good idea and has been encouraging me all the way. My insurance, BC/BS of NC, covered 80% of the cost of my surgery so I can't help you with the self-pay costs. My surgery was at 2:30 on 7/17/00 and I left the hospital at 7:00 PM the next day. The only reason I was there that long is because one of my port sites was bleeding out and would not stop. Kinda scary at first but Dr. R put me back in the bed to give the site a chance to clot. I am very satisfied with the surgery and my results. In a little over 7 weeks I've lost 33 lbs. and my energy level is increasing daily. Best of luck to you on your MGB journey.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 Hi Tarri, To be totally honest, I'm not sure HOW I am going to pay for this surgery... I just know that I have to, plain and simple. I will definitely let you know if I stumble onto anything promising. Take care and good luck! > > - > I'm not from Michigan but did notice that you would be a self-pay.
