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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
