  1. Hi guys, my name is Kristen. I am new here. I have been researching weight loss surgury for years and finally have some money saved up ( $3,000). I have been overweight for 10 years and am at my highest weight right now at 200lbs. I am 5'4" . I have a small frame and should be at about 120-130 lbs to be healthy. I have been miserable these past years and its time for a change. My family is not so supportive. My parents just think I need to go on a diet ( like I havn't tried!!!). I am planning on going to Mexico for my surgery since I am a lower bmi patient and would not be covered by my insurance in the states. I am considering Dr. Ramos Kelly. I would like to go to him. I just need to save up the money of finance it ( both are proving difficult). I could go to Dr Almanza- he is the best price. I need to get this done soon, cause my health is not doing well. I have sleep apnea ( really bad- even when thin) , higher than normal bp ( not on meds- YET) and most recently been dealing with plantar fasciitis due to a job that requires me to stand for 7 hours strait. I guess Im just feeling frustrated. If I could go get my surgery tomorrow, I would!!
