About Me

  • Biography
    I'm pre med in school hopefully to become an ER surgeon. I've taken a break from school to try to get my weight issue under control so it has become a bit longer of a break thatn I had planned. Hopefully this will all change that!

It has all happened actually pretty quick. My mom has been talking to me about it just in random conversation nothing too serious for a long time now but I never really saw it as something I could actually do. I thought it would be too expensive and insurance wouldn't cover it. Finally about a month and a half ago she told me to look into it farther and check with insurance. Couldn't hurt right? So I looked online and found the realize website. The more I read about it, the more I really wanted it. I went to the first seminar at Sky Ridge that I could and met Dr Chae. A 2 weeks later I had my consultation appointment with him and he told me he really wanted to do this surgery for me. After checking with insurance I found it would actually be cheaper to pay myself with the discount they give to self pay patients. My mom and grandma said they would pay for the surgery for me. They knew how much I wanted it, and said I have done so much for the family that I deserved to have this done for me. The next day I was in the nutrition class and now here we are two weeks later and I'm scheduled for surgery in 4 days! Yay!
