I am self pay in Mexico, BC/FL would not pay for revision. Now I have scripts for the 3 month labs, & the Dr. has coded them as specific to Bariatric Surgery. My dilemma is.... should I go thru my Ins, or to a lab that has low rates on Wed, [ pay cash] where most of the uninsured go.

If I go to Quest Labs expecting my ins to pay & they deny, it will be very expensive, but a part of me wants to give ...

Seems like such a long time ago that I went to Tijuana. I have had a great sleeve experience, any issues were very minor. I have lost 16 lbs, the last 2 weeks were down 1, go up 4 oz, lose 6 oz....

At&T bill came today, $340.00, usually about $170.00. I tried to use the "What's app", but I am cell phone stupid... Many calls were from my dtr in LA. Also watch the texts. Just a word of caution...
