Shawnak911 a lot of people insurance don't cover wls...These people pay out of pocket so you figure 15-20 grand verses 5/6 grand....my sister n law paid 18,000 total. She pulled money from her 401k.

6 years out! Wow. How are you doing, maintaining ?

Still at my low weight (give or take a couple pounds). Surgery and losing the weight was the easy part. I also put my time in tracking and measuring every bite, learning all I could about nutrition, attended local support groups, and saw a therapist for 3 years. These are my key to long term success.

Yes, I had my sleeve on November 18, 2016 with Dr. Illan. I recommend going through BariatricPal Team MX via Bill Yanez. The hospital is top notch, clean, the nurses are caring and efficient. The sweet vallets are there for you 24 hours a day in shifts to get whatever you need. The hotel is upscale and I felt safe at all times. What is promised is delivered. Best decision I have ever made and best care I have ever received.

I second everything mama just said. That was my experience to a "t" as well.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
