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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
