Hotel Lucerna looks so beautiful. I'll see you there. I come in Thursday and my surgery is Friday morning.

I know nothing about this however, I see your having your surgery on Thursday by Dr. Kelly. I'm having mine on Friday. I've been searching for a sleeve buddy but couldn't find anyone around my date. Are you going alone?

My grandmother my favorite person on this world. I understand your love for her. However, please don't sell the ring. What's meant to be will be. If you truly need this surgery and God knows it will change your life. The money is going to come regardless. He will make a way for you. All I can suggest is finding a loan company if your father can't provide the amount for you, but I'd be sad if you gave up something so beautiful. Best of Luck!

There's some good surgeons in Mexico who are cheap. At alighterme.com there is Dr. Lopez-Ortega. He has a package deal with hospital stay+hotel stay, pre-op testing, free transportation, free calls to the US & more for only $5,000. The next cheapest I know is Dr. Almanza. I've heard great things about him. He is $5200. I'm going to Dr.Kelly. He has been doing this procedure almost 10 years. His cost is $5,500. If your dad can give you around 2500 you'll be good to go.

I know how you feel. I wouldn't give up the only thing you have to hold from her. That is important to you, and I bet once you give it away you'll miss it. Have you tried looking at no patient left behind. If you have half of the money for surgery they will pay the other half for you.

Yes, I'm having surgery on Friday. Keep me in your prayers. Thank You.

Congrats on your sleeve! I have PCOS. I've had this annoying syndrome since I was 13. I'm so happy that this surgery and other WLS helps but the annoying side effects into remission.

Hi Fat4now. I actually used to live in Charlotte for a while. I went to JWU downtown. I still go there often to visit my best friend. I'm having my procedure done in mexico. My insurance covered the procedure however, I would have had to switch the plan I was on, and have to wait the 6 months that you're doing now. I'm somewhat impatient and didn't want to go that route. I waited two months and saved up for Dr. Kelly in Tijuana. He's one of the cheaper Doctors but has been doing this procedure for 9 years. Best of luck on your 6 month diet. I really hope that the insurance approves you.

I'm glad that there a sleeve forum for people my age . I'm 21 and I'm getting sleeved this friday. I'm so excited yet so nervousa

I went to the passport agency on Thursday. I just showed them my itinerary to san diego then told them i was driving to mexico. I paid the $195 and my passport will be ready on wed.

what death are you talking about?

To my knowledge you can not go into mexico without a passport. The only way you can go without one is if you bring the receipt for your passport. that way they know that you have attempted to get your passport but it just didn't arrive in time. Even with the receipt you will need a birth certificate or a drivers license.

Thank you so much.

If anyone can answer this it would be very helpful. I'm trying to calculate how much money I'll need to save after having my VSG.

<br /><br /><br /> Try going to Obesityhelp.com on the VSG forum. i've talked to a few July 13th sleevers. I don't know of anyone going into surgery the same day as me, but I have sleeve buddies that are going either a week before or a week after me. We've promised to keep each other updated on our progress.
