To help pay for surgery...

(and a possible body lift, after I've kept the wait off for a year or more)...I will be on my super grind making jewelry (this of course, is in addition to my FT 9-5 job) check it out... especially for the ladies that are feeling EXTRA fine in their new bodies : www.ggxjewels.com

Also - for those that have already had the surgery...what type of out of pocket expenses did you incur? I'm trying to build me a little LBS nest egg during my 6-9 month wait...

My insurance paid for my surgery. The only out of pocket expense I had was a $500 co-pay for the hospital stay. Are you having laperscopic surgery? If so, most of the time those are out-patient. I had to stay overnight because I have sleep-apnea.

P.S. I will check out your jewlery website

I anticipate my surgery being paid for by insurance. But I also know that some surgical centers have some add'l programs that may incur a cost. For example - the Optifast 2wk pre-surgery liquid diet is gonna cost me $300 out of pocket...
