I'm a self payer going to Mexico. A lil scary but my research has come back positive. It may be worth looking into?

This is my first time seeing him

If he hasn't been with you for a long time then shopping around may be a good idea. Your support system should include your PCP. But don't discount their advice simply because you don't like what you're hearing... Just my 2 cents. Keep the change!

Any Ohioans out there headed to Mexico for sleeve?

That what I was thinking I nwed a supportive dr that well say ok ill walk u throu the steps

How long with your PCP?

Tough call. Surgery is a big deal but having it young should mean better results and speedier recovery. Better chance to lick the comorbidities... My doc is super supportive but insurance excludes it. I'm going to Mexico to do mine.

Amanda Rae

Because im still young that I can lose it normal but I told him I tryed so many times .he said hell get me in the program to get started then go from ther

How old are you?

Amanda Rae

Saving and 401K. I figure what better way to invest in my retirement is to be alive and healthy when I retire?

Relationship casualties...

I worry there will be casualties. I hope not but it is very possible.

I'm going to do some hard core grocery shopping this weekend. Then I will start an organ total body cleanse. Once I get the all clear from my doc regarding my sprained ankle I will get back to walking. Any Multivitamin suggestions out there?

Thanks so much for sharing your trip to MX for your WLS!! I leave 1 week from today & have my surgery on the 26th' date=' so it was great to see a little of what I am looking forward to. Loved the pics & the play by play! You look so happy, glad all went well <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

You will have to keep us informed!

Menu suggestions or ideas?

Surgery for 3/11/13 with dr. Ponce de leon. I want to lose some weight to lower BMI for risk reduction and cost. Any suggestions?

I'm glad all went well. Makes me feel better about my decision.

Don't you think you will need more time off than a week?

Idk. I will play it by ear. Fortunately I have a desk job. I was able to return to work a week after laproscopic gall bladder surgery...

I couldn't stand having wait that long for my surgery.

I am a full time student among full time everything else. I will be on Spring Break then. I cannot afford to miss school... Especially since I have to pay for it! Lol!

Amanda Rae

I am planning my sleeve for 3/11/13 in TJ. Getting some negative vibes from my biggest support systems. Spouse. Parents. BFF. They're treating me like I'm taking a shortcut! Like major surgery in Mexico is a shortcut?!?! I can imagine to feedback post op... It does get to me.

Amanda Rae

So I am 95% sure I'm going with dr. Ponce de leon. I am planning my sleeving for 3/11/13. I want to try and drop 30-50 lbs 1st. Excited and anxious!! My mom has changed her mind and plans to accompany me. She still isn't a believer but she doesn't want me alone.

Amanda Rae

I'm leaning towards Dr ponce de leon. The reviews I have read are great. I've talked with, texted, and emailed with Trish. I am feeling more confident with my choice each day. I'd like to do it sooner...

Good morning,

I am a brand new newbie and a self payer going to Mexico. I have it narrowed down to two surgeons. Anyone out there have an experiences to share to help me decide. Unfortunatly this will be a lonely experience for me as my support group does not support my decision. Looking to sleeve in March while on Spring Break from college. I am a full time wife, mother, employee, and student!!!
