Surgery Date and new surgeon

Jan 20, 2010

I have a day for the surgery!!  I am so excited and scared at the same time.
I need to recap a bit. I was using Dr. Borland. I called to set up my appointment, and found out he had gone up in price $500. This made the total cost for my sleeve over $10,000.  I just didn't know if I could bring myself to spend that much money, it would take every penny we have, and then some.  I was pretty upset, but all things really do work together for good. This jump in price is what prompted me to look into different doctors.  I was on a website and saw an ad for $5200 for the sleeve. I thought, No Way!!  It wasn't a doctor I was familiar with, so I started checking into him. There were a few bad experiences with him, but a lot of good experiences as well. I asked a few people about him, and got good responses back, except for one about the Dr. Betancourt that he works under. He had the best price, which was nice, and most everyone was happy with him and their experience there.  .....to be continued- my puppy is throwing up.....
