Morovis88 replied to mears06's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Here i am at my last day at work. I leave for San Juan tomorrow 6am to pickup my aunt who is going with me to Caracas. (She is from Caracas and the surgeon is a family friend). We leave for Caracas on Friday, some sight seeing and then tuesday 2/23 9am is the surgery. I am not afraid. Other than leaving the kids with my husband and mother in law in charge..hehe But for the first time in Lord knows how many years I am putting me and my health first. I will not be able to logon, but as soon as I return I will upload pictures and blog. Best of luck to all and God Bless. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Hi. I am in orlando and after two years of appeals I am going to self pay. My surgery is on feb 23. I did go thru the whole seminar. I just finished all my psy,cardio, gastro and endocrine evaluatios and testsm I start my liquid diet on the 16th. I am on blood pressure meds and diabetes meds. My mom had a stroke at 53 and my dad had quadruple bypass sugery at 60. I was 274 lbs now at 258 just trying to get used to liquids and exercising everyday. I am ready for my life change. I also have two kids and know how hard it is but for the first time in my life I have to put myself first for all of our sakes. Let's keep in touch. Maritza Morovis88@embarqmail.com

#1. Surgery date? 2/23/2010 #2. State you live in? Florida #3. Doctor/Surgery Center? Dr. Sanchez-Alva Caracas Venzuela #4. Insurance or self pay? Self Pay #5. Age and height 29/5'4" #6. Current weight and goal weight? 268/currently 260/i would be happy at 199, goal weight should be 145 #7. What was your deciding factor for having this surgery? Health condition and family history. I have been through two appeals to insurance and finally decided with my husband and drs that I could not wait any longer so went self pay. #7. Do you have the support of family and friends? absolute yes! #8. Concerns and questions? not this time.

For the Self-Payers: Where'd you get the money?!
Morovis88 replied to Fatshionista's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I finally took it out of my 401k. I figured if I keep eating myself to death and spending much more money on prescriptions, office visits and sick time. I took a hardship withdrawl and with the letters from my doctors had no problems taking it out. good luck.. -
