I Am So Depressed

After over a year of being on a wait list for surgery. The office I was getting it done at list all their funding, and now I am back to square one! I am so mad! I cannot afford to go to Mexico and now I am stuck. So very very mad!

Sorry to hear that, but can't you just move all of your paperwork to a new surgeon and not have to start over?

I am very sad to hear they lost their funding. Are there any other options for you?

Unfortunately there is no other option. I only had my referral set and was waiting for a call for my first consult. I have been waiting for a year for that. I was due for my call any time now. Now it was all moot. I am going to have to wait maybe 5 years to save money for Mexico. I am in school now and have to pay out if pocket for it. It just plain sucks.

I don't know what state you're in but what about medi-cal or Medicaid? Will they cover the surgery?
