Hi everyone ❤️
I’m considering having a gastric sleeve privately in the UK and I’m trying to understand how people actually managed to fund their surgery.
I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who didn’t have the full amount sitting in savings and couldn’t get normal finance.
Did you save over time, use a payment plan, get help from family, fundraise, or use another method?
I’m not asking anyone for money — I’d just really appreciate hearing how other people in a similar situation managed it.
Thank you ❤️
