  1. thank you everyone! so much!!!! this helps in o many ways!
  2. so why does your profile picture look like that? your pictures from the post arent the same. i only ask because its easy for anyone to make one of these and lie about everything. im just concerned concerdering i want my sugery by the same doctor.
  3. whats dr.garcias info so i can contact him. i am pretty sure he is the right doctor for me!
  4. this is such great information. thanks you guys. its makes things a lot easier knowing that people that already had there surgerys in mexico.
  5. does anyone know of any missing persons going to mexico for the sleeve surgery? my family and friends just hzve me a little freaked out about going to mexico.
  6. so, i def ant to know whats the pros and cons to going to mexico for the sleeve. Who where your doctors? who is the best doctor to go to? How much did it coast you? How far into mexico did yall go? and can i see some websites? tell me a little bit about it. I juxt feel like its more dangerous thsn going to america.
  7. im kinda scared to go to mexico. im not sure i would come back! plus 15,000 isnt that bad. where is the surgeon at in texas that charges 12,00?
  8. i meant 50% when i called the health insurance.
  9. my health insurance said they cover 15% but the doctors said they cover only 10,000$ worth. idkkkk
  10. the doctor ais it was only going to be 15500 at the most so that doesnt sound like a lot to me!? how much are yall paying?

  15. when i lost weight i was small. i was 135 so going from skinny back to fat and finding out im concidered obese was def an eye opener and the fact the i have been obese before my weight loss. being that small changed me. and i have changed so drastically sense i gained it all back.
  16. im def getting this done if im approved! already spent a lot of time thinking about it.
  17. what is heital hernia?
  18. and where yall approved 100% or what % ?
  19. mksy. thank yall so much! I have gone to great lengths to loose weight. and i may be young but i knew i was truly hayy when i lost a lot of weight. but i didnt do it the right way. i have always been active and worked out for at least 3 times a week but it never helped me loose weight. it would just keep my weight the same. and when i would stop is when i would gain tons of weight. and i still am gaining lots of weight. it has been worse and more rappid weight gain than i have ever had. i know i will be truly happy when i get this done. and trust me, im scared s***less. but from alk the research i have been dong i know its the right path for me!
  20. so the pdf said i am in the zone but i need at least 1 problem.
  21. So, my friend said that even though her insurance said she had to be 40bmi or 35 with 2 problems. she wasn't. she said she convinced the insurance compny to approve her. i have united health care. does anyone think this is actually possible? My bmi is 37.2
  22. Please! i want this so bad that if i have to gain weight i will! thank you!
  23. I am under my dads insurance and he works at firestone/bridgestone and the insurance is unitedhealth care. does anyone know anything about the insurance policy regarding this surgery? btw i am only 37.2bmi and have no problems as far as i know.
