As you know, I am a self-pay patient. I practically burned a whole in my Capital One Visa card paying for my Lap Band surgery.
If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you also know that I love personal finance and pinching those pennies. Suze Orman is my Deity. She tells it like it is in her no-nonsense style. I love one of her new sayings for those of us in the dating world..."Fico first, then sex." Yeah, no putting out until you've seen his FICO scores ladies!

Anyways, I was so happy to hear about a recent study that shows how quickly gastric banding pays for itself. Check this out: New Study Finds That Gastric Banding Pays for Itself In Approximately Two Years for Patients With Diabetes and Four Years for Patients Without Diabetes
Wow! That's AWESOME!
I wonder if the study takes into account all those fabulous tiny outfits that I now spend my money on as a result of the weight loss? Probably not.

This is awesome! I was self-pay because I didn't want to wait a year and jump through all the insurance hoops with the possibility of getting denied. I was ready to start my new life and so far, even only 4 weeks out, it has been worth every penny!
ReplyDeleteNow I want to read about some men already. You need to take this new awesome body out for a road test and a fill up.....Sorry about that last bit, but it's time...
ReplyDeleteI love Suzy too. Interesting article! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI also want to read about your dating adventures! Do you ever share any of that? Btw, that is hilarious about the FICO first! :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you posted that artical! Ha..about what Suzy says about sex. True though!!
ReplyDeleteIn Canada, we're all self pay (so far...I keep hoping the gov't will change that), and I tell people, I'd do it all over again even if it was twice the price. Getting your life back is totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteOh man! Gilly stole my comment. I was going to say I would pay double what I paid! Totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteSuze Orman is great!
ReplyDeleteFICO first, then sex - too too funny!!!
