i almost have a date....!
Apr 20, 2008
so here i am...still figuring out how to make this surgery a reality...im so close i can smell it though...
let me bring you all up to date...im a teacher and the insurance i have does not cover any sort of wls...sucks huh? well im determined to get it either way. i can wait another year and teach at a district that does cover it but i feel like im playing a race with time. i really dont want to wait any longer. i want to have this surgery while i can afford it cause i would like to leave teaching and go back to school. i KNOW i wont be able to afford it if i become a student again. and besides...i want the gastric sleeve and not too many insurances cover it. at least thats the way it seems.
ive saved my money and at one point i was planning to have the surgery done in mexico. the doctor seemed like a great one but my parents where a little nervous about having it done there. to cut a long story short...thanks to my sister and her husband, they helped me find a wonderful doctor in san antonio and his price is only like $1000 more. not too bad. well i have done everything there is to do like the psych evaluation and visit to the nutritionist. all i have to do now is choose a date. they have giving me options but i cant decide. it all depends if i can teach summer school. ughh...i not a exaclty a fan of summer school but its good money and i need it to pay for surgery.
either way...im SOOO happy that im almost there...i can see the light at the end of the tunnel...
