Hey there. I'm from Texas, and my family is all still there. My sister had the sleeve done there with Dr Stowers. But I am actually in Chattanooga, TN. I would PREFER to find one here that can help me. I've read that many offices can get a little creative in the filing of insurances for partial cash pays.
My insurance, while it covers, has some requirements that you have to retain the BMI a of 35 or greater for over 12 mths. I've inched towards that, but don't want to KEEP it on. I have PCOS, HBP, high cholesterol and a high history of female heart disease in my family, as well as both biological parents having diabetes (type 1, and 2).
I might go onto the surgeon review board to see if anyone knows anything about the Chatt surgeons.
