  3. Hmmm. https://www.yelp.com/biz/bariatricpal-tijuana
  4. I did a search and found that Tijuana does the procedure. My question is how safe would it be there and what would the recovery be like.
  5. So, I found out my insurance won't cover bariatric surgery. Disappointed considering that I thought insurance companies were covering it. Anyone have any recommendations to proceed?
  6. I asked my doctor for a referral. I want to discuss bariatric surgery with a doctor. I want to see what is the best option - Sleeve or Lap Band. The name he gave me is to a general surgeon. Is there a difference between general surgeon and bariatric surgeon? Also, Sleeve or Lap Band?
