:biggrin0:Congratulations! I am in the process of making my decision and have also been lurking the forums for information!! This site has been so helpful. Everyone's honesty about the process has helped me to make and informed decision. My husband is supportive, as are the friends that I've told. I will have my nutrition and psych evaluation over the next 10 days...then we'll see how I fare with the insurance folks. Great to hear from the folks who went to Mexico for thier surgery--sounds like a good experience.

I agree with JeepChick and Tiffykins. I am contemplating VSG for myself and when I asked my surgeon how many sleeves he'd done--the answer was 15. But he's also done over 700 bypasses, which demonstrates to me he has the expertise with the stapler.
