So from what I can tell most everyone here seems to go to Mexico for their surgeries. I am planning on doing mine here in the US and was wondering if I am in the minority here. I know that it is more expensive, I just want to be close to the wife and kids.

Good luck to you goodlife. I hope you get your date set soon. I'm pretty sure since I am a self-pay patient I will be able to just set the date. My wife and I are trying to close on a new house right now, so once that happens and we are moved in then I can set my date!:001_unsure:

Hello all, I found this site today as I was searching for info on the VSG and decided to join. I have been researching Bypass and Lap-Band surgery for a few years now and I went to a Informational Seminar a few months ago and first heard about the Sleeve. I have a friend who had Bypass a few years ago and he has been telling me how great it is, but he wishes he could have done the Sleeve instead. I had been planning on doing Lap-Band as an out-of-pocket patient in June or July and started to get more and more interested in VSG. I have now set up an appointment to meet a surgeon on Thursday to discuss the VSG and I'm close to 100% sure that I will go this route in June or July instead. I look forward to getting to know everyone better and using this Board as a support system.
