Got my funding.....Now to figure it all out



Recommended Posts

I've spent months and months researching various WLS procedures and there have already been some ups & downs! When I finally made the decision to have WLS, I found out that my employer had placed an exclusion on it so I couldn't get it done that way. Realizing I was going to be a self-payer was tough to handle. Once that finally sank in, I started saving and cutting back in order to finance the surgery.

I realized quickly that it was going to take me at least two years to save the money so I started pursuing the financing options that I found out about from all of you on this board (thanks to all of you!!!) Well, I found out today that I've got my funding!!!!!!:D :D :D

Care Credit came through for me and with that plus the money I've saved I'll be able to get my sleeve!!!! Got that news today and was so happy then the reality set in and I started freaking out a little. I can't believe I'm ready to start looking at doctors and moving forward with this process. I can't wait, now I just need to figure out where to go from here!

I was so excited I thought I had to share this with somebody. Seeing how I haven't told anyone else about this besides my wonderful wife, I thought I'd share it with all of you!!!

Congrats! As a fellow self payer I understand. I got my money to have the surgery rather suddenly and unexpectedly. I'd wanted to have it done for the past 2 years but never thought it would happen. Now that it is about to happen I'm freaking out a bit as well!

Thank you both for the replies and the well wishes! I've been on a wild researching campaign to figure out where to go from here. It's a lot of fun but scary at the same time.

Any advise from anyone in Southeast Michigan.....I'm all ears

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
