Yes. I've made up my mind. I Just paid for my airline tickets and have paid my deposit. I can't see the downside to being healthier and being thinner. I won't ever have my large size again, but I think I'll be okay. I highly doubt I'll miss it. I have been so insecure for so long about my weight.

I got a credit card last month that gives me a $400.00 travel credit but I haven't had any travel to use it towards. So my flight will end up costing me $36.00. I also used miles for the rest of it.

Then I got the Chase Saphire card this month and after I spend $3k, I get a $500.00 travel credit... so I'm going to make my credit cards work for me for once. I'm putting the surgery on the chase card, then paying it right off so I meet the amount I have to spend.

I guess what will also help offset that is the large credit line from care credit I opened that I'm not using. It'll help keep my utilization perfect.

I called Dr. Kim's office and the price is $10,900 without any insurance benefits. I know I don't have a hernia and I know my insurance policy won't cover anything related to this.

I found that they had a care credit link so I applied online for care credit and put $18,000 in for the total cost and it approved me for $18,000.00... so I guess that's a good thing.

I'm weighing the options between going to Dallas or Mexico. Mexico is coming out much cheaper, even with buying the airline tickets. It's a difference of around $7,000.

The place in Mexico said they can do next week. The place in Dallas told me 3 months or longer out.

Who are you going to in Mexico? I had my surgery done there as well and I am so happy that I did.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
