I ended up self paying. Not because of the terms of Citerra or anything but I ended up getting the money in a bonus check and decided just to use the cash from that. Sorry not much help.

Cost of surgery 8000

Airline ticks 1200 (I ended up going 1st cl because i had a really good bonus chk.:clap2: ) Plus I went alone and just really wanted to be comfortable on my way home. Im a 6ft woman with tremendously long legs and always gets the guy in front who puts the seat all the way back!

However coach from Orlando was half that amount. Other than that I tipped the taxi 5.00 each way and spent nothing else. I wasnt really feeling for a shopping spree. Ive read about these bandsters who go shopping while they were there but that was the last thing I wanted to do.

Another way to pay is your 401k if you have. You can pay the part you borrow at a very small amount back over 5 years and any interest you pay is yours anyway. Also 1 Doc in TJ has a program called docpay which they just debit your acount over the next few months and I dont beleive there is any interest. Cant remember his name but Ive seen people on here that have used him. Go to docpay in a search and the docs name will come up.

Sorry I couldnt help more. Good luck to you!

I wonder if you ever found the bad feedback you reported about Dr. De La Garza. I reseached him in every way possible and found nothing except glowing reports. I used him for my surgery and he is an excellent surgeon. I think it is a little irresponsible of you to say something like that just as an off comment when it has the potential to cause someone not to choose him.

Respectfully,

Anadora

      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.
