  4. Thhank you! Im just so excited
  5. I just want to say that if your in search for a over and above coordinator that you look into Trish. I am just amazed at her kindness and compassion that she has for the patient. Im scheduled for surgery with Dr. Ponce and his team on Nov 12 . I can't wait to meet them all and start this wonderful new journey. I feel very confidant in my decision and I only wish it were sooner. I can't wait to give Trish a hug and thank her in person for all of her kindness. Now let's get this ball rolling and become a member on the loosers bench!!!

  9. Thank you O.T.R.sleever I appreciate the kind words. Im really feeling good about Dr. Ponce and his team. I wish it were sooner but im looking at it as gaining much more knowledge about the after surgery. This site is just amazing! I thank you all!
  10. Need-a-Sleeve I wish you the very best! Keep us posted when you feel up to it.
  11. Sadly it's an exclusion on our insurance. I went to a seminar here in Mo. and that was the Dr. I wanted. The forms were filled out, turned in and denied by phone. Im scheduled for Nov 13 with Dr Ponce in Mexico as self pay. Im so excited I even have a count down on my phone so I can see it daily. I wish I wasn't going to have to wait so long but Im saving and will be ready on that date. Im 46 and my body screams much older and my mind thinks much younger Now to get the two to come together and enjoy life!

  14. My BMI is 39-40 Im 5'2" I weigh 213-217 Im scheduled to have surgery in a couple of months. My question to all of you pre sleevers is this.....is this too low a BMI to do this? I wear 18-20 pants and a 2xl top. High bp, achy knees, achy ankles, and to go up a set of stairs leaves me breathing quite heavy. I just want some input. I desperately want the surgery.
  15. It's due to self pay. I've been denied by my insurance, so in order to be able to do it and afford it I've researched Dr.s in Mexico. This site has reassured be beyond belief!! I also had a friend who went to Mexico and had it done and did great and looks great! :0)
  16. Im tentivly scheduled for November 13 anyone else?
  17. Im tentivly heading to Mexico for surgery Nov 13th. Any others?
