. Have you considered going to Mexico?

Thanks for your help . I have considered going to Mexico . However with the price that my doc i chose is going to charge I think for a few thousand more it would be worth it to me to stay in the states. I had thought about it quite a bit. IN fact knowing someone that went to Mexico and what she paid is what really got me thinking " I can do this Now" after thinking about it for a year and it not being an option due to money until this point.

Thanks for your help

I'm a little confused about the money you're having your parents hold for you. First of all, by having them hold your money so you won't spend it, shows that you're out of control and, in fact, have entirely given up control to them. You are an adult, and you have to start acting like one. If they don't want you to have the surgery, what's going to happen when it's time to get the surgery money from them. Just because it's your money doesn't mean you won't have a hard time getting back from them.

Have you looked into a bank loan by yourself? You might be surprised by the result. There are companies than do exclusively medical loans. Another option might be a low or no-interest credit card. I get offers in the mail almost every day - most of them pre-approved.

I understand your frustration about your situation - I had surgery in Mexico because I couldn't wait around and jump through the insurance hoops for a year.

Best wishes on your journey - no matter how long it takes.

Donna , Thank you for your response, I agree that at $12K its best to stay in the states and its a great price . The doc I have chosen is really awesome. I understand what your saying about the money ...The main reason im having them put it in a savings account for me is to keep it seperate from our household accounts. I didnt want the easy access to it in that way for myself. I wanted the money seperate from household bill money and household savings . If that makes sense. ANd I have not in the past been great with money . I'll be the first to tell anyone that. Something I understand w/my parents as well. However in the past few yrs I have been and myparents know that. my parents will give me the money back I know that . That's not an issue for me at all. I have looked into a bank loan as well as the surgery type loans and I just cant get ANYTHING on my own because we had a bankcrupcy discharged in Feb ... If it was a yr or 2 later I could get something but no one will lend to you with in the first yr of a discharge. Thank you for listening. Im glad I have this board I dont know what i would do .

Don't feel bad i ask my mom if i could borrow the money so i could get the surgery sooner too and all she could do was to put me down so i haven't talk to her in 3 weeks,

Andree

Andree, Im sorry your mom acted that way . I honestly told my parents because I thought they would understand and be supportive . My dad is a GOOD 100lbs overwt at least. So i thought of all people he would understand.

They didnt. They just think I have not done everything I COULD/SHOULD to loose it. I told them " Just because you dont think i have done everything to YOUR satisfaction doesnt mean I havent done evrything I KNOW I CAN and its not about YOU its about me and MY Satisfaction and my life "

I Hope you get the surgery soon as well. Feel free to email me anytime .

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
