Has Anyone Used Flex Benefits to Pay for Part of Surgery?
tbrown9 replied to Georgiagirl27's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I did have my surgery in Mexico. One of the best decision that I have ever made in my life. Went from a size 18/16 pant and XL shirt to a size 12 pant and M/L shirt in just 3 months! -
Has Anyone Used Flex Benefits to Pay for Part of Surgery?
tbrown9 replied to Georgiagirl27's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I tried to use mine. I had quite a bit on my flex account Visa also. However, my coordinator tried to run it through and it didn't accept it. I ended up having to pay out of pocket and used my flex benefit card towards my medical supplies and vitamins, etc. after surgery. You should still try and see if it works for you. Good luck! -

We had surgery the same day and I have also lost the same amount! We are slow losers but I would rather that so that I am not looking saggy. Sounds like you are doing great my sleeve pal! Keep up the good work. Oh by the way, thanks for the roll up idea, I'm going to try this! -

Hello! I am living in Kentucky too! I love your determination. It will get you very far in this journey. I just had my surgery on Monday so I'm 6 days post op. We should exchange emails or something. I can never have enough sleeve buddies. Where in Kentucky do you live? I'm in Louisville!

Going alone to Tijuana and scare to death
tbrown9 replied to eortega's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I just came back from Tijuana. I went alone and got sleeved on Monday. It was not scary at all. Don't believe all the stories that you hear about Tijuana. Tijuana in this day and time is nothing like it used to be years ago. I even went with some some surgery buddies that I met at the Marriott to the Walmart and got some things. We walked, it was beautiful weather there 74 degrees and sunny. You will be surprised that you worried for nothing once you get there. Good luck with your surgery! You'll do fine! -

I also have gas x strips on my list, listerine strips, slip on slippers and a zip up gown for comfort. I am going shopping with my list tomorrow. My surgery is Aug 4th and I am so excited to start packing!! -
We just might be traveling in the same shuttle heading to the Marriott and the hospital in the morning! Wouldn't that be awesome!
