I saved enough money by having WLS to pay myself back the cost of the surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Hi Everyone,

I thought about how much WLS cost and then I sat down and did a little

calculation on what I would save each month. I was amazed when I figured out

that is sure didn't take me long to pay myself back because I wasn't spending as

much for food, medication, doctor's visits, eating out and less gas for my car

because I walked a lot more and did my shopping on my walks. Yes self-pay does

cost us more. I gave up waiting for an insurance company to say yes, because I

knew that they just weren't going to do it and I wasn't willing to give away any

more days of my life. I knew Dr. Aceves was the best and that was just where I

was going.

Check out my numbers and think about how fast you actually recover your initial

investment in yourself.

Item Saving Costs per month Savings Cost of my Sleeve Surgery

Food $150.00 $1,800.00 by Dr. Aceves

Eating out $150.00 $1,800.00

Medication $75.00 $900.00

Doctor $100.00 $1,200.00

Gas/walk more $25.00 $300.00

Saving per month $500.00

Total savings for 1 year $6,000.00 $8,700.00

How long it took me to pay myself back

for my WLS because I was saving each

month because I wasn't eating as much

or going to the doctor as much and

taking less medication.

So at the end of 17 months I had saved

enough money to pay myself back what I

spent for the cost of my WLS. AREN'T YOU WORTH THE COST OF THE SURGERY?

Take care, and be happy,

This is a good one for me........I'm going to have the revision and the cost is going to blow me out of the water for awhile. This helps me screw up my courage and just go do it. Thanks Suzanne. By the way, I looked at your photos recently. Wow....you look fabulous. From: SuzanneB <SuzanneSH@...>To:
