I rather do the same.. finance the surgery and pay for the rest myself. how have u been feeling ... and what have u lost.

So basically you travel from fl, to san diego airport and they pick u up, and for 6800. then u pay for your own hotel? I apologize if I sound stupid but I have been looking for airtravel and I am in chicago I just need to see wich way it would work out better for me. Thanks again.

did u need a passport? also where did u fly from? what state?

Hello blugini... when did u do the surgery? if I may ask. Also how much did your airfare cost? I have been researching this for months now... so any help I would appreciate. Thanks shygirl

I have been looking for a doctor that accepts medicaid in chicago and no luck. Had an appointment on July 2nd and today they called me and canceled .. They dont even know if the hospital I was supposed to go to is going to have any info sessions any time soon, since theyre going thru a change in doctors. I am soooo depressed... Any support is appreciated.. people please talk tome.. Thanks jess..:cry

Hello fellow chicagoans. If someone can advice me of a doctor that is accepting medicaid I would appreciated. I had found Mercy hospital was supposed to go in on July 2nd and they cancelled the appointment and dont know when theyre going to give the info sessions again. I am so depressed.. I was all ready to be there and do what i had to do. So please if anyone knows of another place I would appreciated. Thanks Jess in west loop chicago..:whoo::cry
