Hi, ShayLeigh--

I am in Southern Idaho (2.5 hrs north of SLC). I am approved for the sleeve at a nearby Center of Excellence, but their self-pay rate is high enough that I haven't committed to them at this point. I am self-pay and have decided to shop around and see if I can get comfortable with any of the out-of-market surgeons with way more competitive pricing. My BMI is 33 and (while I am not diagnosed with any comorbidities) I'm sure I could get myself diagnosed because I have many slightly-high BP, cholesterol and blood sugar results since I gained this weight over the last 4-6 years. I have three kids under 12 and feel so worried about my health all the time that I just want to PAY to get this tool and get things in line (rather than wait for possible/maybe/partial insurance coverage :)!).

Best wishes,

Annie

Good to see/meet both of you on here, ShayLeigh & Chaych!

Chaych, where are you getting your RNY? I have honed in on a couple of Mexican surgeons and am trying to get in about October 17 or 18 myself. :)

Nice to meet you. I'm from Payson, Utah close to Provo. My sister and I had the Sleeve done in March of 2013. We went to Mexico for our surgery. Best decision Ever!

      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.
