I know how you feel. I've given up hope today. I don't have insurance and am self pay. So long story short, I got denied credit and have no hope. I feel like I

Dying inside and it hurts badly. I really thought family would help me but nobody has good enough credit, trust me, I've tried. I don't have much money saved because I am the only person working in my household. This just really really sucks!

My insurance doesn't cover it. So I am off to Mexico. I am scheduled for July because I have to save the money for it. It seems really far away but it will come soon and I am working my A$$ off to save it. Lol.

It's a life changing operation. And I know all this suffering and working extra hours and being super extra poor for a few months will be sooo worth it when the date gets here.

I heard that some drs. Down there have payment options and maybe in the states as well but in mexico like dr. Kelly has some type of in house financing and dr Almanza ( the one I am going to) has layaway. Lol. I thought that one was funny when I first heard it but hey it's working for me.

Anyways keep trying and I am sure u will find something that works for u. :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
