My total bill to my insurance for my surgery was $63,000. I don't know how much my insurance actually paid everyone (hospital, surgeon? Anesthesia etc). Thankfully all I had to pay was my hospital admission copay which was $250.

I was sleeved 9/19 and I have lost 21 lbs. I am content with that. I do not want to lose too quickly (excess skin). Slow and steady is good for me. Good luck to you! HW 262 Surgery 241 Current 220

10 days post op today and I had about 2 spoons of my daughters frozen yogurt :/

You look absolutely amazing! Congrats!

I'm not from Idaho or going to Mexico for surgery, but my VSG is on September 19th. 2 days to go!!

Congratualtions!!! My surgery is on the 19th!

Hi there! Mine is on Thursday. I'm very nervous!

You look amazing! What are your stats?

Yes there are doing both at the same time.

Surgery is re-set for September 19th. I'm so excited! Here we go again!!!!

It's benign!!! Calling the coordinator tomorrow to reschedule my surgery!!

Thank you everyone for the support. It still feels so surreal. I can't believe it didn't happen, but I need to focus on the other aspect and hopefully be sleeved soon. Thanks again!

Thank you.

So after two weeks of liquid diet, prepping and planning for support and care for myself and my kids, as well as prepping myself mentally for this surgery, I woke up from anesthesia with no sleeve. They found a tumor in the base of my stomach. I have to see a gastroenterologist and have a biopsy done. Once everything is ok and the tumor is removed I can proceed with the sleeve. I'm sad, disappointed. I cried so much in the hospital, the nurses were so nice to me. Good news is the surgeon said that from the look of it, it looks benign. Im calling the specialist tomorrow to see how soon they can get me in. Hoping for the best!
