I'm so excited that today after waiting for six days I finally got approved for my surgery. Tomorrow I will find out surgery day.

Best of luck! This is your new beginning!

How much does it cost? And what about the after care? How long do you stay in Mexico? I'm considering going to Mexico if my insurance doesn't approve it.

I would like to know now that it has been 3 years or more what have been your greatest challenge? Have you been able to substance your weight loss? Do you have any regrets? Do you have any side affects? I have read a lot of the posting but it talks about people that have recent down the sleeve or within 2 years, but I'm looking for response from long term veterans.

I'm new to this site and would like to heard back from anyone that have done the surgery with a doctor at M'boro TN? Who was the surgeon? What did you do for pre-ope? Any additional information would help.

It was nice meeting you at the meeting on Thursday. My friend has told me that she makes taco without shell. Retried beans, cheese, and a little ground beef cook it for 10 min in the oven at 350 degrees. You can put a little of guacamole or salsa on top. It's yammy!!!

I'm getting all my paperwork ready to submit to the insurance but I'm scare that I will not qualify. I'm 5' 7" and weight 245. I have lost 30 pounds in the last year but I gain all of it back plus more after I stopped taking diet pills. I having high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. My insurance requires bmi of > 35 with relative illness or > 40 with documentation of weight loss attempts. I have tries many diets but how do I show proof?
