So I am only 21 and still fall under my Dad's insurance plan. He just lost his job and said the insurance is only good for three months from now. There is no way I would be able to get the surgery in 3 months and it all be covered. I feel hopeless right now! Anyone self pay in California and what did it run you? Any suggestion

Wow I am so sorry to hear this! You must feel devastated. There are some great surgeons in Mexico that charge around $5,000-10,000 usd if that is something you might be interested in. Best of luck to you, everything will turn out alright !

I would check into Cobra and see if you could keep the insurance at least through the surgery. You don't have to purchase the insurance for the whole family, you can keep it just on you if you need to. Worth checking into anyway =)

I am staying positive!! I will continue to go see my Primary doctor and try to get him to refer me to the surgeon so I can for sure start the process.
