skinnywannabe 0 Posted April 8, 2007 I have been to a seminar and really want to be banded. My spouse went with me and his is in agreement. But the money that it costs is such an obstacle to overcome. I weigh 235lbs today at 5'4" and I'm miserable. I have ridden the weight rollercoaster all my life and I want to be skinny. I have 3 children 7y/o to 15 mon. My 4 yr old says that she doesn't want to have fat elbows like me. I don't want to be an embarrassment to my children. I shop Lane Bryant trying to look my best but I'm not happy with my looks most of the time. Shopping is just a temporay fix. My husband loves me but I don't feel sexy enough to enjoy our lovemaking. I have such a supportive man he is wonderful. How did you afford it? Please give me some feed back the only thing that is standing in my way is the money. My spouse and I are both RN's but I work 2-3 days every 14 days so that I can be with my children, we agreed to do this for them. I would appreciate any info. I know someone that went to Mexico but she has to drive to Texas for fills. I would love to stay with a surgeon in Arkansas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isabelle290 0 Posted April 9, 2007 I have concidered Mexico too b/c of the hassle my insurance has been giving me b/c I don't have other problems like high blood pressure, etc. I have found the yahoo group about surgery in Mexico to be very resourceful when researching a Doctor there.

edieparks 2 Posted April 9, 2007 I was spending at least and I mean at least $7 a day on my habit. I did the math and the money was there. edie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliegeraci 7 Posted April 9, 2007 My insurance covered it so I was lucky. Hadn't my insurance not covered it I would have dug up the money somehow to have it done. That being said, could you pull in some extra shifts to make the monthly payment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
