Well since I'm fasting for Ramadan my stomach has shrunk anyway. I guess that will have to do temporarily. I have too much debt I want to pay off before surgery.
I'm in the Phoenix area looking for a mentor/buddy for ESG. Haven't found a surgeon yet but I'm going to start with the Mayo Clinic. Since it's cheaper than the laparoscopic procedure I'm pretty sure it's covered by my plan (United Healthcare Choice Plus). Feel free to email me to share your experience and make a new friend.
I went to the Phoenix location but of course they don't perform it there, only Minnesota offers it. Even worse, my insurance doesn't cover any bariatric procedures
