"Dr. Jones is a good old country boy..puts it to you plain and simple tells all the good and the bad..His office self has been very helpful in answering my questions and easing my mind..I do wish they would fight a little harder for approval with companies hard to deal with..i am going to be self pay but still fight the insurance company BCBS of TX..my husband pays nearly $5,000 a year for this insurance policy and it is sad that medicaid covers this surgery so simply..anyway will pay ahead then battle them I don't want to wait 2-3 years and battle insurance company and still be overweight...update more after surgery"
