So I had my second total hip surgery last November, my joints just cant haul 300 plus pounds around anymore, had a lot of complications this time, took much longer than I thought to get back to work, through pain and rehab havent been able to workout sitting around gaining weight my life is in a serious spiral. finally get back to work and was referred by my regular doc to get a revision of my band. begin the program, things are starting to look up and wham!! My company fires me. I assume they got wind that I was considering more surgery and more time off. Now I have no Job, no health insurance and an Obesity problem that is killing me. For a week I literally couldnt keep a clear thought in my head. Switched over to get insurance through my wifes company and they dont cover weight loss services of any kind. So I think its the end for me.

Until last week my wife asks a colleague how she did her VSG without insurance; The answer Pompeii Surgical. Every thing has fallen into place like it was meant to be including some severance money I didnt know I had. IM scheduled for revision surgery April 28th, start my liquid diet next monday OMG!!!

Any advice, thoughts prayers etc. will be very much appreciated.

How did it go!? I'm happy to hear it all worked out for you. I'm hoping life is going much better now that you are post-op . I'm looking into revision surgery in Mexico as well.

AWSOME!!

I had to have both knees replaced due to weight causing osteoarthritis. I can feel for you. Good luck in the future. Keep up the great work.
