Saying Hello

Greetings from Arkansas!

I've been lurking for a while now and thought it was time to jump in and say hello. I'm hoping to have a sleeve done in the coming months and have my first appt with my doctor next week. Our insurance has a specific exclusion for wls so I will be private pay. Been researching options for that.

Anyway - just wanted to say hello and that I am thankful for this site. I've been doing a lot of reading and have gained a lot of helpful insight.

Hello Lara! California Post-Op here! Glad you are here and I hope and wish nothing but wonderful things for your future. Welcome!

Hello! Thank you for the kind reply. I actually spent my childhood and teens in California - the San Fernando Valley outside Los Angeles to be exact. I hope your post-op period has gone well and that things have been successful after your procedure.

Hi Lara! Glad to see you say hello and wishing you well on your weight loss journey!

Thank you - wishing the same to you...

Hello Lara! Some of the doctors offices work with programs that can help you with a payment plan. Hopefully the doctor you chose will. Best of luck and look forward to your updates.

Hi,

The doctor's office did give me the name of a personal loan company (Prosper) - they don't do care credit. But we weren't considering that anyway as the interest rate is so high. I think we are going to cash in a retirement annuity account. If necessary we may go with either Light Stream or So Fi for a loan - they seem to keep showing up on top of "best of" lists.
