Question of the Week

Hey everyone,

I thought it would be nice to have a "question of the week" to keep us involved with each other. If I ask something that you're not comfortable answering, you certainly do not have to answer. I just thought it would be a good way for us to get to know each other better! I will post a new question every Monday, but will do a short and simple one now for this week.

Question: Where do you live (city, state or just state) and are you having your surgery done close to where you live?
If so, where at? (For example: city, state or just state).
If not, where will you have the surgery done (city, state or state).

I live in a little Texas town called Hondo. I would have loved to have my surgery done close to home but I just can't afford it since I am a self-pay. I will be going to Tijuana, Mexico for my surgery.

I live in Jacksonville, FL and I'm having my surgery just a few miles from my house. I'm really lucky in that one of the local hospitals here has been classified as a Center of Excellence. I'm also EXTREMELY lucky in that my insurance covers the sleeve, and my hospital copay is waived because I'm going to a Center of Excellence. Yay!

I actually lived in Orange Park for a couple years and my primary care physician is there. Small world, huh?

 I know where Hondo is! I am from San Antonio! I am currently in Killeen at Ft. Hood and will be having my surgery at Darnall Hospital here on Post.

Hondo has got to be the smallest town I have ever lived in! I really liked living in San Antonio much better, but my DH dragged us to Hondo because it is closer to his work. It's not bad here, just nothing to do.

I am from a small town called Romsey in Hampshire and I am having my surgery in Southampton which is about 15 minutes drive from where I live.

Nothing worth having comes easy.  Success comes with hard work and determination and sacrifice!

I live in San Antonio, Tx, and I'm having my surgery here in San Antonio.  The hospital is only about a 15-20 minute ride from my house.
