I feel SO blessed, if I tell you what my surgery is costing me I'm afraid you would all hate me! I have it done Monday and can hardly wait. Finished all the precert stuff today and paid the hospital up front ALL $50 of my out of pocket expense. Whoops... please don't hate me. I am so proud of you all figuring out ways to pay for yours. If I had to self pay I would never be able to. I work at the hospital and have their insurance and one of the benefits for employees is maximum expense of $50. I thank GOD everyday. My son want to have the surgery also and his insurance won't pay, so for right now we are just trying to save enough to get it done someday.

well at first my surgery was going to be paid for by cleaning houses . ( I am self pay ) I picked up 6 houses really quickly. We own our own concrete company and my husband picked up this ridicoulous job that is paying VERY WELL . the profits from that job along are going to pay for my surgery .

So once i found out about that i quit cleaning houses LOL

Now im just waiting for this job to finish which should be next week barring no more weather delays.

Im looking at surgery now the middle of Feb. It was suppose to get done this week actually but the job is delayed. Everyone else put in what their surgery cost , after reading more i guess i will too . LOL total with pre op testing ( I have no health insurance) its going to be right around $13,000 in the USA in Texas

So here's hoping

I am paying for my surgery with a 401 K loan. At least I will be paying myself the interest. My surgery will be Jan 31 in Houston. The cost is 13,000.00 and I am convinced that it will be worth every penny. I consider myself very lucky that I can afford to do this on my own. It's shame that we have to put a price on our health.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
