    I think if you have insurance to cover the cost weight wise would be great, I started my journey with weight wise but my ins wouldn't cover it and I think you get nickeled and dimed, after more research ive decided to have my surgery done in Tijuana Mexico by Dr. Fernando Garica, total cost for me should be 4700.00 barring any complications.travel is my responsibility, they cover 3 nights at Marriott and 2 nights in the hospital and food,
  10. Just wondering any guys had skin removal and what the cost ?

    August sleevers?

    Me too were arriving at SD airport @ 10 am on the 4 th driver to take us to Marriott , surg on Monday
  12. As I look thru the forum I see a lot of different pre op diets. Well I start mine to day and will do the one my dr sent me . It sure looks easier than some up to 3 shakes salad protein ( fish or chicken) Metamucil capsule for hunger if needed. Ok I can do this 14 days.
  13. Anyone use this it also has a lot of vitamins and minerals , anybody have any input . Thanks
  14. Starting pre-op early, should. Start on the 26th , but I'm just ready, have my shakes ,protein , broth, surgery not till Aug 5th @ Florence with Dr Garcia . I hope they have a bed for my wife to sleep in or I'll be walking the halls lol
  15. I was told at Florence hospital there would be a bed for my wife , I hope so or she will have a room at Marriott I hope.
