Hi All, I am going into surgery as selfpay and I could really use some advise/support from other people who have been selfpay and how that worked out for you and if you have regrets or issues with selfpay. My surgery is scheduled in August but I can't help but think what all I could do with 15grand! and I always wanted to get banded locally so Mexico really wasnt something I considered. :biggrin:

Hi everyone. My name is Nicole, Im 35 yrs old, married with 2yr old son. Scheduled to get banded in August , 2010. I have viewed the site during my research stage but now am ready to join in, meet new friends and get the support and information I need to make it through! I am selfpay for this surgery, unfortunatley my husbands United Healthcare plan does not cover the surgery, but we sure did try. Wish I was covered but gotta do what I gotta do! My surgeon Is Dr. Small based from the Weight Loss Clinic in MD.
