  2. Oh ya definatly! Ive seen the mexico add on the web. Havent looked into that because I cant afford the airfair. And I was also worried about follow ups. I have illinois state med. And checking into surgeons here. Im not putting it down at all having it done in mexico. You are right, there are horror stories everywhere when it comes to any kind of surgery. Good luck with yours! I would be excited also. Ive just begun my journey and im already excited, knowing I could be shot down by insurance, but keeping posative!
  3. Dont blame you, I would be worried about that too! Too many horror stories on t.v. about that stuff. Im still waiting to hear if my insurance will cover it for me. Im tired of the roller coster ride with weightl loss! Gain 30 lose 20! If I could get help losing with the sleeve I know I can keep it off!
  4. Hi everyone! Newbie here! Im 35 and looking to get the gastric sleeve. I could use some advise on how to get the ball rolling. I live in illinois and have harmony health ( state insurance) my reg. Doc sent off a letter to them trying to get approval. Should I have seen a surgeon first? And do you have to obese? Im 5'6 and 214lb, my bmi is 35, I have high cholesterol and have been on numerous diets without much success. Any advise would be helpful on what I can do to make this happen! Thanks
