Re: California low cost lapband with references

You guys can read about the Post Op complication insurance on Obesity Help (Obesity Help - Weight Loss Surgery, Obesity Support Groups, Obesity Forums, Surgical Procedures) They have some PDF articles that I read before my surgery. It's one one the reasons i chose the surgeon and hospital that i did because i didnt have any kind of health insurance so if i had a problem i couldnt get insurance to cover it which they sometimes do even if they dont pay for your surgery. I didnt have any complications but I was worried about the "what ifs". It was hard enough to pay cash for surgery so I knew I couldnt take any chances. I took this off of Obesity Help:
BLIS is a comprehensive financial solution designed to protect bariatric surgeons, their hospital, and their cash-pay patients from the financial consequences of known medical complications that are associated with weight loss surgery. BLIS reduces financial uncertainty for everyone involved, thereby paving the way for a significant increase in the number of surgeries that can be performed.
