JUKU

I am self paying but haven't had surgery yet. I was told that the hospital portion $12,000 was due the morning of surgery and the rest (surgeon & anesthia) could be made by payments.

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I am at the stage of my 2nd consultation with the surgeon. I go Friday Sept 12th. I already had my tests done and had it submitted to insurance and received a rejection letter because I haven't been on a physician supervised weight loss program for 5 years with monthly check ins with my dr. When you think about it, it would be 60 monthly copays of $20. So there is $1200 I could put towards self paying now. So, that is what I am planning on doing. I am lucky to have a savings put away, so I am going to do this for Me. Right now, I am scared and anxious but definitly excited to start a new beginning.
