About Me
Project FUTURA
What started in October 2013 will finally happen on Tuesday, December 23rd!!
Initially was supposed to have Lap Band procedure on December 16, 2013. BUT, they did not find a haital hernia and my great state of Texas insurance wouldn't cover costs...unless I waited a full 12 months, had monthly contact with a nutritionist on an approved weight loss program and had visited a phsychiatrist. Then, I would have to pay the first $5,000 plus 20% of the remaining costs. I had the 5,500 fiancing with TR but not the remaining amount. I cancelled.
Now, a year later, I was able to raise $4,400 by selling art pottery [Roseville FUTURA] and will use my health flex account for the immediate out-of-pocket expenses along with the $5,500 financing from TR.
