DENIED.

And the results are:




DENIED!!!



Yeah, I kinda saw that coming. Turns out my husband's plan specifically excludes this surgery. They said I could try to switch to another plan but my guess is that they excluded it on all plans to save money. I'll still call next week and ask if there are any plans under his company that will allow for WLS.


But more than likely I will be self pay. Which means losing our house. Our casita. I was so excited to finally have Thanksgiving at my place. Finally have my parents and my in-laws coming to MY house. and I would do the cooking. I was so excited to have our first real tree in our foyer. We had the perfect spot. The house was so cute and well kept. Its only 12 yrs old! sigh...it was such a last minute find too. I had given up all hope that we'd find the kind of house I wanted. And just then, this one popped up on my radar. It was in really good shape, very affordable, and 10 minutes from my parents. :) I wanted to be close to my parents because we were going to start having kids soon.

But...maybe in a couple of years we'll be able to save up again. And we don't NEED to live close to my parents until we start having kids. Maybe I won't have my little casita. A place to call our own. A place I can finally decorate. Maybe not this year. Maybe not next year. But this surgery is more important than a house. My life will improve. And hopefully with my new health, new outlook, new body, I can finally get a job and we can save up for an even better house. Sometimes things happen for a reason. I don't know. Maybe we were meant to find this house so that we could have this option. Without this option I never would have been able to be self pay. So maybe its all part of his little plan. I don't know. 

Its a sacrifice. I can't say I won't be sad, especially when the holidays come around. But I'll be so happy to have this surgery. 

I found a doctor who has amazing reviews in mexico. My husband says he would like to keep it simple. Try to find someone in the state of Florida who can do it for cheaper than my doctor here. He's willing to pay for convenience. I told him I would look into it. But if the dr. in mexico is our best option, we're going there. I can't say that I'm fond of the idea of flying 6 hours to cali then driving 2 hours to mexico. especially on the way back. So I'm willing to look in FL and see what I find. But if I have to go to mexico I will.

Gosh look how far I've come. only a month ago I was just contemplating this all. And now not only do I know I want it, I'm willing to give up my house and get it done in Mexico. wow.

If any of you know any good WLS surgeons in FL who do the sleeve please let me know. thanks.
