I wont be sleeved after all.. :'(

After 5 days of my pre op diet, hundreds of dollars later I get a phone call yesterday saying that I hadn't reached my deductible for insurance and I would have to pay $2,400 before surgery. Well I don't have that much and neither does anyone else. My parents had said they would cover the cost but weren't expecting it to be that much and didn't have that much saved... So Friday morning I get to call and cancel my July 15th surgery.... I am utterly heartbroken!!

Thank you! I now know one thing for sure- I WANT THIS SURGERY! If I wasn't sure before I am now. It was a blessing in disguise I think.

Not sure if you really want something? Have it taken away from you.. Your emotions and reactions will surely allow you to see what you really want!

The new coordinator I was working with asked me how much I could pay up front and I told her 1,000 dollars and then asked how much per month could I pay in payments and I said 250. She called and dealt with the hospital and got them to agree to it.

So proud it has worked out for you!!! That is a horrible situation to be in. To have it so close and possibly snatched away. You stuck with it and didn't give up....I know you will do the same on the losers bench!!! You will fight and work hard to get to your goal....and you will never regret the choice you have made.....good vibes and prayers sent your way for surgery!!!! You got this!!!!
