Fantastic! keep us posted! You will be fine and do great! Please let me know how it goes for you!

I will try to update you as the actual surgeon who does this procedure is calling me tomorrow afternoon. I will be talking to him about the sleeve also. Their sleeve prices range from 13600-18100 depending on BMI and comorbidities. Also calling a facility that is in the US supposedly offering competitve prices with Mexico higher priced offerings. The pose procedure is a primary procedure. The ROSE procedure is the secondary procedure for RNY's and i suppose even stretched sleeves! My guess is that the POSE is similar to the plication w/o as much reduction. The website does have a few video testimonies available. They are also doing them in Europe.

No, you are absolutely correct. I just called Dr. Aceves and they are emailing me his info. But I am leaning towards Dr. Kelly at this point. I am hoping for an August date. I am applying for my passport next week. Thanks!

Well I would like to stay in the US but it is looking slim on my chances. You all are making it much easier for me to got to Mexico, so thank you. I was hoping to do Kelly or Ponce but open to suggestions. Garcia, Alvarez, Aceves. As bad as I hate it, price is a factor. I'm looking to stay less than 6000 with safest physician and location with shortest stay safely possible.

Well, I will know by Monday and if not SC, the next most affordable place was in Louisana for 13600, and Mexico is 5000-9000 depending on who and where. It's not if, it's when and where for me. Thanks for your reply.

I also am having a time deciding which surgeon. I wanted to stay here and if not then I will see either Dr. Kelly, Dr. Aceves, or Dr. Ponce De Leon. Congrats! on your decision and Good luck.

Well if I can do it for 8000 dollars total self pay. I and a relative of mine will be calling monday morning to set it up. We have been planning on either Mexico or saving for longer but this would be an answered prayer!!
