Hello all. My name is Valerie and I am a 43 yr old and have a BMI of 41.1 at this point. I have just spoke with Kim who is helping me to get scheduled for gastric plication. I hope I am making the right choice. I am very unhealthy and have already had one TIA and am staring down the barrell of a stroke or heart attack with triglycerides running at 1186! I am very scared of leaving the country! A lot of bad press out there for Mexico right now. However, since I will be private pay I feel I have no choice but to leave the US for treatment. Is there anything that I can be doing between now and February that will help to make this process flow as smoothly as possible? I am nervous but I am n=more afraid of my health than anything else. Has anyone been to Tiajuana lately? Do you feel safe there? I appreciate any help and advice anyone can give me.
