Default I'm so excited!!!!

I went for my consultation for a lower body lift today! I was really shocked at the prices. I will definately not be going to Mexico to have it done. It actually was cheaper here than there!


So now my plan is to get to my goal and stablize for 6 months so I can have my surgery done! I am so excited! I really didn't think it was going to be a realistic price.....boy was I wrong.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Keep up the good work, pal!

Thats fantastic. I am not near goal, but I think I will need plastic surgery also. Knowing that it is more affordable than you thought may mean that it is not as expensive as I think. I have sent out for informational packets but none are in yet. I am glad that door is open for you and affordable.

Shelley,
Go for it babe! I'm behind you maybe in 2-2.5 years from now!
I still owe hubby one baby boy and then shut the factory down heheheheh

Wow I'm very thrilled for you, I'm sure you can overcome the probation time in a flash! I can't wait to hear that you have done it and this will be the last page of your old unhappy life!

Greatest luck to you my sweet friend

Hanadi

Okay so actual price range would be helpful here sweetie....lol. I am soooooo interested in what you found. I am trying to come up with ways to earn and save starting now for surgery later...even if it just means clearing up all other debt in the meantime and putting it on our credit card. Please let me know what you found out.

Alright this is what I found out the other day. Now just for the decision to make.

I went and saw a cosmetic surgeon here at the hospital I work for. He quoted me a price of $8200 for a lower body lift. That would be everything included. He also told me of a program they have here called the resident's clinic. If I was to have one of the residents do my surgery with his 100% supervison, it would be $5200. That is a savings of $3000! I have to be at a steady weight for 6 months prior to surgery so now I am trying my hardest to loose as much as possible now.

OMG....Shelley that is the best news ever!!!! Now I am starting to think that I could actually save for one. Hell I should have enough room on our credit card for that price...lol. Thanks for sharing this and I am so super stoked for you. I am sure that you will be determined and make it happen. Keep us updated.
