Thanks to you all for your replies.

Good luck on your journey keep us posted and I will keep you in my prayer.

Now that I finally have the money to pay for the sleeve I'm so scared to call Louise to schedule the surgery. I don't understand how come I didn't feel the same way the first time when I was schedule for august 30th. I got butterflies in my stomach and all kind of thoughts, I even have a headache. I know I read many stories about it's normal to feel that way but, I just wish that I didn't I think it would have made things easier for me. I'm so glad I found this site where I can vent.

You are not alone, what I have been doing since this evening is writing down the reasons why I should do it and the reasons why not. It seems to help so far. I'm 4'11 weighs 165-169 lbs wearing a size 14-16 petite. It gets worst now that my clothes are getting too tight and I'm not about to buy bigger sizes if anything I want to buy smaller sizes and cute clothes that I will fit and look good wearing. In addition I feel like the bigger I get the shorter I look, everybody keep telling me oh no you're not that big but behind my back they called me names, and besides the older we get the harder it is to lose the weight and the easier it is to gain weight. I'm tired of those yo-yo diet I want something permanent and I'm gonna get it. Who's your doctor? Almanza is my surgeon.

That's the spirit!

I applied for the loan with surgeryloans.com today and was approved for most of the money I needed for the sleeve the remainder I can take care of it. I'm so happy about that but, what's killing me is the interest rate. I'm thinking maybe I should get the money get my sleeve done and pay it off before the 3 years term since there's no penalty for paying off early. My second is issue is I called Louise back to see if I can get my spot back it's already taken, now I have to wait until the 2nd week of August she said the office is close from the 5th to the 7th. I'm thinking about going to Dr Alvarez Guillermo has anyone use him? if so please let me know I heard good stuff about him but I need to do more research on him. I'm trying to get this done before I go back to school on the 22nd just so I can have a few weeks to recover.

Actually I'm a state employee I don't get nothing, as a matter of fact our insurance just went up. Even if I qualify for medicaid I don't think they would have pay for it since I'm not morbidly obese and no co-morditiy.

Now that everything is on track with financing the sleeve I'm begining to have doubts about the surgery is it normal? I'm thinking about what if I went through all that and don't lose the weight or what if I gained it back. I'm also wondering how am I gonna feel when I go out with family or friends and everybody is eating there foods and enjoying it and there I am eating a bite or 2 and get full. It's too bad I don't think dr Almanza offer counseling but I don't know if I'm mentally prepared for this drastic change. Did any of you had this kind of thoughts before or after the surgery?

Thank you for your comments.

I need help please I thought I had everything plan for july 30th when I called Louise with my deposit last week for dr Almanza. I was so happy I was gonna get this done on my summer break. I emailed Louise today with my new CareCredit card number to pay the rest of the money I got an email back that they don't accept carecredit. I only apply for carecredit after I was denied from there financing company now I don't know what to do. Because my BMI is low no doctors in the states will do it. I called Carecredit this morning they do not cover any type of weight loss surgery performed outside of the state. I found surgeryloans.com while I was googling last night has anyone use it for surgery outside of the state? If so please let me know so I can apply, if I don't get this done now I have to wait in december when school out again and I don't want to wait that long. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Dr Almanza price is the same as your doctor, thank you for sharing I haven't pick another date yet but I will try to get it done before I go back to school on the 22nd of next month. I agree with you about not telling anyone nobody knows I'm getting it done too except my husband. They will be surprise once I start slimming down. Some will think that I'm sick and some will say oh no she's starting another diet again. Good luck with everything.

Thank you all of you for your great input.

Thank you so much I qualify for a loan with surgeryloans.com their interest rate is killing me when I get home tonight I will apply with MyMedicalLoan to see if there interest is better. Is your surgeon price similar to Dr Almanza?

Thank you guys for your support.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday, that was the best birthday present.

Hi there, sorry to hear of your stress over financing. I got my loan through MyMedicalLoan and have not had any problems. I am scheduled for August 2nd and my doctor is in Mexico too. Good luck, I hope it works out for you. If you don't mind me asking which doctor is performing your surgery in Mexico?

Thank you I will try them.

Thank you!
