Just Realized A Cost Reduction In My Life Insurance Can Pay For My Sleeve.



Recommended Posts

As the title says. About 5 yrs. ago I too out a $500,000 term life policy due to me being so overweight I felt like I was going to die any minute. I wanted my wife and kids to be took care of if something did happen. I had close to $100,000 with my job plus close to another $100,000 in my 401k so I figuared I'd take that much to be safe. But with me 5'10" and 350lbs they charge me 101 a month where I was 35 when I took it out (40 now) it should have been around $30 to $40 a month. So if I meet my goal ill have if re done and at 60 a month extra I had to self pay at $8000 it should pay me back in 11 yrs. I know it's a silly thing to think of but it has bothered me to have to do this operation for something I've did in the past on my own. (Losing weight) so now I can look at it as an investment with an 11 yr return. :)

I think the sleeve is one of the most important investments you could make! Having you around a lot longer is the most important thing for your family!!! Good luck and keep in touch!

The savings on food, insurance, and associated medical cost will pay for itself in a few years. It will also prolong your life so you make more money. Getting the sleeve is a win win situation.

      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! 😞
