    Prayers to you! I wanted to do self pay a long time ago, but just couldn't make the commitment so I actually tried to get jobs with insurance company's that normally pay for it and hoped that the company didn't opt out. I did take a pay cut on new job, but for the money I would have spent on surgery it is actually about the same. I'm hoping it all works out for you and you find a way. When there is a will there is a way!

    I didn't have insurance to cover mine and had to self pay. Thank God I was able to borrow against my 401K to come up with the money. It will be worth every penny!!!!
