I teach high school. We return August 1st. Students return August 3rd. I'm looking at getting sleeved in December so I can use the two-week break to recover. Sent from my SM-T377V using the BariatricPal App

I'm looking for anyone else whose saving for their sleeve. My insurance went cover it, I don't have a hiatal hernia, I can't take on anymore debt, and I'm not sure if I want to travel once I have enough saved to have it done cheaper in Mexico. I've met with and chosen my surgeon, completed and passed psyc eval, scheduled sleep study, and built my support system. I just need to keep saving to get my sleeve. If you are in a similar situation, maybe we can keep each other accountable and encouraged until we reach our goals.

Have you considered saving and going to another state? I'll have to travel to South Louisiana and pay about $11K or to Dallas, TX and pay $12K. Both of these beat paying $15K-$20K where I live in North Louisiana.

I'm in the same boat. I'm saving for the next few months. Mexico is an option, but I'll have to save for it, too.

Lol!

I'm so sorry! Right there with you... Message me if you want to comisorate ???? everyone was so confident that 'most overweight people have hernias and don't even know it' that I was so sure I had one. It's kind of ironic bc my indigestion and heartburn is getting worse every day!. I'll private message you

I have no hiatal hernia. I feel lost. The hh repair option was my only shoot to get insurance to cover midst of this...
