Post weightloss surgery

[Looking Ahead 239]

I've lost 155 lbs in a year and have alot of saggy skin. I went to the plastic surgeon in my town yesterday for a consultation. Just for the belt stomach area and hospital cost is $11,100. To do the arms and inner thighs later is the sames price to have them done together. I've been pretty depressed and down since. My insurance will cover only the "overhang" on the belly below the belly button. Which would still look horrible. I've been to two banks for loans and my only option is to put up my truck that was just paid for this past year or take out a second mortgage on my home. I could use some ideas. I did schedule the surgery for the middle of December so to hold my spot. Does anyone know how much it is to go to Mexico to do this and does that price include the hospital? How much is airlines, hotels and things like that I would need? I'm at a lose. I thought I was so close to done and now I feel I will never be completely done / complete with my body and life.

You might want to post this in the Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery forum. You may have better luck with responses.

Congratulations that's amazing!

This link will give you some prices for a doc in Mexico that many on this forum love, but agree with twinsmama, the plastic surgery forum will have more details for you.
