I ended up self paying. Not because of the terms of Citerra or anything but I ended up getting the money in a bonus check and decided just to use the cash from that. Sorry not much help.

Cost of surgery 8000

Airline ticks 1200 (I ended up going 1st cl because i had a really good bonus chk.:clap2: ) Plus I went alone and just really wanted to be comfortable on my way home. Im a 6ft woman with tremendously long legs and always gets the guy in front who puts the seat all the way back!

However coach from Orlando was half that amount. Other than that I tipped the taxi 5.00 each way and spent nothing else. I wasnt really feeling for a shopping spree. Ive read about these bandsters who go shopping while they were there but that was the last thing I wanted to do.

Another way to pay is your 401k if you have. You can pay the part you borrow at a very small amount back over 5 years and any interest you pay is yours anyway. Also 1 Doc in TJ has a program called docpay which they just debit your acount over the next few months and I dont beleive there is any interest. Cant remember his name but Ive seen people on here that have used him. Go to docpay in a search and the docs name will come up.

Sorry I couldnt help more. Good luck to you!

I wonder if you ever found the bad feedback you reported about Dr. De La Garza. I reseached him in every way possible and found nothing except glowing reports. I used him for my surgery and he is an excellent surgeon. I think it is a little irresponsible of you to say something like that just as an off comment when it has the potential to cause someone not to choose him.

Respectfully,

Anadora

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
