I'm an August Bandito as well.
Mine is August 24th with Pedro Kuri in Hospital Los Angeles (Mexico). Big trip to go from Alaska to Mexico, but I am self pay and the Anchorage surgeon was $23K vs $7K in Mexico.
My insurance would have paid 80% after the 6 month supervised diet, but the supervised diet costs about $500 a month ($3000 for six months), plus you add the 20% of $23k (anothee $4600), plus the monthly visits, labs, etc.
I'm just glad I will be done soon. I am so tired of this fat.
I have been low carb for years, and eat mostly healthy, but I have a demanding job and work 10 hours with no breaks. So when I get home I can LITERALLY (not kidding) eat 2-3 pounds of food. I can eat a whole block of cheese, a whole chicken, 4-5 sausages. Remember Fred Flinstone's brontosaur steaks? That could be me. Don't know when to stop. And at 242 lbs, with PCOS, HBP, PD, Depression, and bipolar disorder, it is a miracle I only take 9 medications.
Anyways, here I am! Good luck all!
