hi Im new on VST Im from Ireland and traveling to tijuana to get my sleeve done. surgery is on the 19th of November. its really scary traveling around to the other side of the world to get sleeved but to have it here it would cost $22,000 and we don't get covered by insurance for elective surgery even if you are considered obese. ok my name is Sarah Im 31 i have two gorgeous girls 5 and 17 months . i had the lap band. it slipped during my second pregnancy so had to have it removed at 5 months pregnant. since then i have gained 70lb . i was really scared the last few weeks even thinking of canceling but since i have found this site Im much more positive . thanks guys x
