Thanks for the welcome, Vegasangel :thumbup1:
Thanks Wasa - I'm writing a book - calling it "I Married a WHAT?!?" **heh** I can't resist that title.
Anyway, insurance is a definite out - the new policy the company got through United Healthcare in March does not cover WLS at all. Can't appeal because can't submit the first time.
As for credit, I can use all the help I can get - I have applied for every single loan out there - no dice due to my poor credit (under 600 - pathetic). I'm refusing to pay the cards that my ex ran up in my name while we were still married - so of course they go on credit rating because they're in collections. Luckily in NC, they can't come after me in court for unsecured debt unless I have a lot of money in savings.
As for surgeons - I have been thinking seriously about Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta. However, I've heard good things about Asceves and Alvarez as well. I'm at this point thinking they are all great surgeons, and everyone who goes to any of them seems to have nothing but good things to say about the doctors and the staff, so it's down to economics. Who is cheaper? And - is there anything to do in Mexicali or Tijuana for the person who comes with me while I'm recouping? I'm going to be researching the local sites myself as well, but thought I'd get some opionions.
