1st day after surgery I woke up to pain of my life. Chinese nurse ask me could I go peepee! O my god, scale 1to10 it burn like hell. Far as anesthesiologist other staff members we're da bests. But that dam Chinese Nurse needs to learn more patience. Trust me pull her aside told her just what I thought of her. Sometimes I understand short of staff but, b patient u never know who's rating u. But other than that my doc John K Long was funny! Impressive.

I am interested in having this surgery as well. I would like to know if insurance is paying for it for you or do you have to pay out of pocket? What all are you getting done? I recently had a breast reduction so I am waiting to full heal before I have another surgery but would like more info on your process.
United Healthcare Community Plan. Pay for the gastric sleeve surgery also covered panniculectomy. I paid $0.00 nothing out of pocket
UnitedHealthcare Community Plan paid for both procedures
Hope that you're feeling better.
Thanks
You are too cute. Go Bless
Apply for medicaid local office. Then choose plan from ur package. .
