Did you pay outright or finance?

 I was just curious what your thinking was about funding PS.  Looking back, I'd wouldn't think twice about borrowing for the vsg.  But I do put that in a different category than PS.  I would like to have plastics, but anytime soon that would entail borrowing.  

 I borrowed from my 401k. It was easy and I am paying myself back.

 I got financing through carecredit. Unfortunately, the doctor I decided to go with doesn't accept it.  I have been saving every penny and will end up taking about 4k from my 401k.  It's an investment in me and completely worth it. 

I'll be paying outright.

 I'll probably be doing a blend.  I borrowed against my 401K to buy a house.  My insurance covers abdominoplasty after a weight loss of greater than 100 lbs.  The rest I'll have to pay for myself.

When I started I didn't think i'd ever care about plastics.  Boy did that change once I saw how my body started looking after losing.  Its funny how much we start to care about appearance as our self esteem improves.  Now all I want is to be able to buy clothes that actually fit, especially now that I can buy in the mall again!

What insurance do you have?? Just curious. I am now down about 95 lbs. but would still like to lose another 15 and have been stable since about November but I do not know what my insurance requires or if they even cover anything.

I will  be self pay.  My husband and I decided to refinance our house and take enough out to pay for my surgeries.

 I refinanced my house and took out $20k to do some work on kitchen and bathroom counters.  When I learned that I could have all of my plastics done with Dr. Sauceda for the same price as granite counters, I decided to remodel my body instead.  Best decision I ever made!

 Insurance payed for my lap band. And I was saving to buy a car outright. But by the time I was ready to actually buy a car I changed my mind and decided on PS. The only thing that made me nervous is, what if I had a complication that would prevent me from going back to work in a timely matter. I had enough for the surgery plus some to live on for a few months but if something went wrong I dont know what I would do. But luckily I didn't have to deal with that. I am at the 8 week mark this week and am going to schedule my go back to work physical this week. I am happy how everything turned out, and I will just start saving for a car again. :)
