Considering plastic surgery in Mexico. Any recommendations, and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Since my surgery, I am now a 38F and I need to convince my insurance company to pay for reduction..they just hang.

Anyone in North Carolina looking for Sleeve Sister???

I need one badly!! I'm only on day 5 but I can surely use some help! Thanks all

What part of NC? I am in Greensboro.

I am 7 months post op and hit a stall...it will pass

I had surgery October 31, 2012, lost a total of 65 lbs and I am on my 3rd week of this stall....ugh any suggestions on how to kick start my weight loss?

How long do they need to stay in oven

We do it 2 ways...

My favourite way is:

1. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray.

2. Cut the tops off your whole garlics so that the cut shows a clear cross-cut of each clove. It will look like a bundle of tubes (sorta)

3. Pull off the really loose outer flaky layers.

4. Place one head per cup in the pan.

5. Lightly spray each head w/non-stick spray & sprinkle with seasonings (salt, pepper, Rosemary, etc)

6. Bake at 275-300 for abt 15 min. They are done when you see some of the cloves pop out of their spots. Not all will.

The other way is:

1. Peel & separate all the heads/cloves.

2. Spray a baking sheet w/non-stick spray.

3. Spread the naked cloves on the sheet.

4. Lightly spray with non-stick spray & season.

5. Bake at 275-300 for abt 15 min. The cloves will brown a little.

You might want to keep an eye on them the 1st time you make them. The cloves will be really squishy when they're done. :}

Question:

If you are sleeved in MX, how do you find a doctor in the states for follow-up? Is there a list of doctors that will see patients that was sleeved in MX?

I was sleeved on 10/31/2012 and I understand how everyone feels this has been difficult. Gas, nausea, bad day

WOW...can not believe I will be sleeved in the morning...I really do not know what emotions I am feeling right now. Any last minutes words of wisdom?

Thanks for the response...I am so nervous!

Well, my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, October 31, 2012 and I have been very nervous so I smoked a cigarette. Do they have a way to check nicotine the day of surgery? I do not want that to stop me from getting the surgery.

Great article...my surgery date is October 31, 2012.

Received my approval and surgery date is October 31, 2012. I am so nervous and anxious....not second guesing myself just nervous about the entire process. After next week, I begin a journey that will be totally new..

Good luck everyone....I received my approval in 5 days...surgery date October 31, 2012

I am approved YAY! Surgery date oct 31,2012. I am a nervous wreck now. Mixture of excitement, fear, questions

Did you call I called everyday for 4 days after my things were submitted and got my approval number. You can call the insurance company. They work for you. Good luck Beautiful.

Thanks for the advise...my information was submitted on Friday, I will call them tomorrow.

That is awesome...how long did it take for your insurance company to approve?

WOW...you look awesome.

My file was sent on last Thursday to Aetna for pre-certification. The wait begins. I am so anxious and nervous as I await the results. I pray I receive a response this week.

Hi...

I am awaiting approval from the insurance company and I am praying that I can have the sleeve gastrectomy in November. I am nervous and anxious. How did everyone do on the liver shrinking diet?

Thanks everyone...I am having the sleeve gastrectomy and my doctor also does the sleeve gastric. It is my understanding the difference is the gastric sleeve is more invasive. Whereas, the sleeve gastrectomy involves removing only part of the stomach.

This may be an odd question, but here I go...lol Is this group for Gastric Sleeve or Sleeve Gastrectomy?

I will be starting the liver shrinking diet and my doctor wants me to stay on the diet for a month. While I do not agree with that idea, I will speak with him about being on the diet for 2 weeks.
