Well, I go for my seminar at WeightWise on Saturday and am so excited. I'm worried that I may have to postpone havin my surgery :biggrin:. I got laid off last Thursday from my job where I have worked for over 10 yrs. It was completely unexpected and now don't know if it's financially responsible to use the $$ in my savings for surgery or if I should save every penny until I have a new job?? One part of me says, do it, I may never have a better time. The other side of me says, it's financially irresponsible to be spending that kind of $$ on something that is optional. I'm afraid if I wait that I may never have the $$ in hand again to do it. Not to mention when starting a new job, it may be a while before I can schedule a weeks vacation.

On top of losing my job, I am also moving. I signed the contract to sell my house last Tuesday and then lost my job on Thursday. Not sure what's going to happen now. I was buying my grandmothers house but not sure what's going to happen now as I doubt any bank will loan me $$ when I don't have a job. I may have to do the lease to buy or rent it from my my grandmothers estate until I get settled with a new job. ARG!!! I am so stressed!!

Oakie Sunshine, Sorry to hear about your problems. Can you get COBRA from your job and pay that insurance so you don't have to pay for surgery? Just a thought. It's required by law that they offer you insurance. Just a thought. Good Luck to you Como24

Yes, I can get COBRA insurance and the company will continue to pay for their part of my insurance through my severance pay period BUT the insurance will not pay for any obesity treatment. So...unfortunately I am on my own if I want to get the surgery but
