15 years later and finally have a surgery date!

Dec 27, 2021

Since I last posted on here I have lost and gained it all back several times. The last time being around 60 pounds.  I have tried revisiting my old surgeon a few years ago hoping he would help me apply for a grant to get it done, which he wouldn't do because he would have to basically donate the surgery for free. I also visited a doctor in Chicago who claimed he would do the surgery if I had a hiatus hernia that needed repaired and would take an out of pocket amount on the side to do that while he was already in there. He was asking 10k and between that and the out of pocket I already would be paying I just couldn't do it. I started looking into traveling to Mexico to get it done.  When I told my dad he said he had concerns regarding me getting it done there and asked that I try one last time to get it covered by insurance so I did. This time I got tested for sleep apnea and had it. I got approval in late November and my surgery date is scheduled for January 19th! I am so excited!
