I had to self pay for same reason. No coverage. I applied with Prosper and Care credit. Went with Prosper. Interest rate was a little higher than I would have liked but they offered enough to cover everything. Basically I have a car payment due every month. Do you have access to a credit union. They may have a loan to offer. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did anyone see therapist/counselor?
ndavis1991 replied to mileysfitmommy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I see a therapist and a nutritionist with an eating disorder background. Very helpful. I had to self pay out of pocket for the surgery and I do t want to screw it up after spending all that money. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Pre-surgery timeline for cash pay patients in US
ndavis1991 replied to MarieLouise's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my first visit in early Feb. just had to do a psych evaluation, lab work, meet with the nutritionist, and an upper gi. I could have had surgery in mid March but work issues put me having surgery in late April. Most of the other tests appear to be insurance requirements.

I'm definitely slacking in the fluids. Very hard for me. Have gone back to more Protein drinks to help with Fluid and protein intake. Yesterday was a good day so need to build upon that and keep it going. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

3 weeks post op and stall
ndavis1991 replied to velasd16's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 weeks out and haven't lost any weight since after the first week. I knew of the three week stall, but wasn't expecting it after one week. Trying to stay upbeat and positive. Doc wasn't concerned at two week checkup. I have this fear of losing no more because my metabolism sucked prior to surgery. Common fear, I'm sure. We will all get through these stalls.

Something frivolous: best hospital dressing code?

I got this super comfy nightgown on Etsy. It has Velcro at the shoulders to work around the IV. I loved it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Isopure ready-made protein drinks

I've been told they are sold individually in some gyms. Might try calling some of your local gyms and see if they carry them. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?

My surgery date is 4/26/16 in the Houston area. Very excited, nervous, etc.... Doing self pay as insurance does not cover the procedure. Good luck to all of those getting closer to their dates. Mine still feels far away, but I know it will be here quickly. Pre-op appt with the doc is 4/6 and then the pre-op diet will start soon after. Yay!
