Just so I am clear on this, is the underwritter for the policies, Lloyd's, Lloyd's of London (the official company that goes by that name, just just a Lloyd's that happens to be located in London) or...

Just so I am clear on this, is the underwritter for the policies, Lloyd's, Lloyd's of London (the official company that goes by that name, just just a Lloyd's that happens to be located in London) or...
I would be interested to read more about it, care to send me a link to the website, as well as one to the Lloyds of London site? As I mentioned it was years ago when I looked into the company, so I...
Yeah, I looked into it back when I was having surgery. I opted not to go with it because I had my fiance look into it and he said that it was oddly structure, more like a trust, which left a lot of...
Thanks Angie, I think you are right, I am sure we all have battles that we continue to fight every now and again. This for me has been the worst one so far, but it is so nice to know that even at my...
Thanks Kindle, I am doing better. I find life throws us curve balls sometimes and all we can do it try and make the best of it. I hope you are doing well!
Today I am so happy I can hardly contain myself! As some of you already know I had my VSG surgery 3 years ago with Dr. Quinones, but back in October of this year I had to go under the knife with him...
Thank you Marge, it was a terrible experience, but things are much better now. To me it was just important to convey to others that life still happens, even after surgery we can still be faced with a...
Amen man, I agree 110%, this forum needs a broad spectrum of advice so that people can get through their own trial and errors and figure out what works for them. For me I have always had to adapt...
I am right there with ya Tinman, I love my animals and would probably die if I had to survive on protein shakes the rest of my life. I think we are conveying a similar idea just in different ways. I...
Lots of luck to you! You are not the only person that is going through that struggle, its not an easy thing to accomplish, but its great that you know that about yourself and are working towards your...
Well said, I have had a few friends throughout life, even before I had bariatric surgery that had a weight loss surgery themselves and still struggled. They lost a lot of weight, but not what they...
I saw someone who posted this today and thought it was worth sharing. As someone who is 3 years out now I can honestly say surgery is not magic, or a miracle cure...its a tool, learn to use the tool...
Thank you Cathi, I am sure it will happen in its own time, I was just really hoping to provide my son with a sibling that wasn't so far apart in age. He will be turning 6 before Dr. Herrera and Dr....
It was something to say the least, but I think the happy ending is yet to come. I am just glad that I can still have children, so I remain hopeful that my happy ending will get here eventually. Maybe...
Thank you Carla, I believe God puts people in our lives for a reason as well. I know that it will get better, but after surgery I was told I would have to wait a year before trying again. That was...
This story doesn't have much to do with my weight loss journey, per-say, but it is one that I felt was still worth sharing, for many reasons. It is still painful when I think about it, and something...
My old babysitter in Vegas had surgery with Dr. Umbach, she isn't on this site, but I could ask her if it would be ok if you contact her to hear about her experience if you want.
Hi Carleen I wrote some posts to help newbies during their research phase. They have some really great tips and advice in them that may help you out some. I had surgery 3 years ago now and it was by...
There is no getting around it the pre-op diet sucks. I have a very hard time on it, and like you I cheated at first. However, I will say that after about 3 or 4 days in it became easier. You have to...
Some of this will depend on your surgeon to be honest. I would ask them about the medications just to make sure depending on the type of medication that you are taking. Back when I had my surgery we...
Out of curiosity did they every say what could cause a post operative leak that far out?
Wow, that seems strange considering the bypass pouch formation is similar to that of the sleeve, but includes the re-routing of the intestinal tract, I would think that the leak rate would be higher...
I will have to check that out and see if they have any thigh lift patients on there. I want to know how bad the pain is.
When my friend went she operated at the Pompeii Surgical center. I want to say that the place has like 6 or 7 recovery rooms and 2 operating rooms. Its a really nice place. What really won me over...
Not sure if you were asking me, but the surgeon that I was referring to was Dr. Cardenas. I plan on having a thigh lift with her, hopefully next year after having my next kiddo.
