anyone currently active on here from Utah?
Hi! I'm from Utah as well! I was going to do my surgery through UVRMC but the cost was $18,000 as a self pay patient so I am convinced I"m going to Mexico. I am working on getting my passport and making the arrangements and hopefully will have the surgery sometime the beginning of October. My husband thinks I"m nuts but its a risk I'm willing to take at this point. I'm tired of feeling lethargic and self conscious with pain in my knees and back. He doesn't understand what it's like #1 as a woman who is overweight and the social aspect of it, #2 the physical feeling of it, #3 the emotional part of it....the years of depression and sadness and lack of confidence and feeling like anytime you pass someone in a hall or on a street thinking that they're staring at you and thinking about how fat you are. I hope he can get on board and support me because that's what I need most.

I completely understand everything you mentioned I to feel the same way, I hope your husband can jump on board and be there for you. I checked into UVRMC self pay aswell but 15-16,000 was way more than I could afford i am still saving for mexico but $6-7000 is a whole lot easier to pull together. Do you know what surgeon you are going with down there?

I had the same though process, I was looking into RNY but since I want to have one more baby, and since you can have a little more flexibility with the sleeve I am going that route. I like it a lot more, and they remove the part of the stomach that creates the hunger hormone. I also have 2 cousins who have been sleeved for over 2 years and have done amazing
