I was looking forward to being banded but after really thinking && researching alot more I've decided to have the gastric sleeve instead, I think it will be best for me.

Also I had no comorbidities

hello I really identify with your situation I started my journey a year ago yeah last September! well my weight stayed at 210-220 so after being denied 4 times even having my appeal denied! so I said you know what ihave to do what I have to do to get my surgery.I went against my rules and better judgment gained weight maintained it till I was finally aporoved. im 5'5 so my weight needed to be 240 so I got up to about 235 felt miserable. Strapped on a 5 pound weight ate a healthy meal put my keys and phone in my pocket wore layers. lol iknow it sounds crazy but I was finally approved in July.

omg lol im ending this debate ok with all smiles deal...deal

I have a question about this my bloodwork showed that I had high levels of bacteria in my blood that form ulcers. I have my upper GI tomorrow, but my question is could I have ulcers im not sure what the symptoms are...

lol I clearly stated my point... pick a center of excellence for the best care you ever hear you get what you pay for is that any clearer for you...

hopetolose your so right it could be hard having to travel to && from Mexico imagine if it was a emergency

nite run your right im not trying to be rude but im being honest surgery is no quick fix && I do not know her particular situation as to why she went to Mexico but people who go there have more complications generally

why dont you give the band a chance instead of complaining && possibly discouraging others from surgery there's always a 50/50 chance with surgery in mexico seriously a hit && miss some reviews are good some are bad you should have went to a center of excellence to ensure quality care ihope you succeed with your weightloss best of luck<3

blondee they're not criticizing the doctors in Mexico any seminar you attend in the states they tell you if you dont decide to go through their facility atleast choose a center of excellence so you know for sure you'll have the very best treatment when you have your surgery.

lol they do it because they want to make sure your not crazy && where your mindset is not suicidal either

it honestly depends on your type of insurance sorry but your moving through the process pretty fast goodluck on your journey <3

omg @ Zen you look wonderful congrats to you on your success <3 your truly a inspiration to me not exactly on a preop diet ijust have to lose 5 pounds ihave yet to start it im a procrastinator ugh!

iwill be banded in September not sure about the date yet im nervous im not really going to be on a pre op diet my dr just wants me to lose 5 pounds ihave my exercise && nutrition class September 12 after that they'll give me a date it'll be here in no time!
