That is much more reasonable than I thought it would be in the US. I would rather not go to Mexico.

Tha Thank you SO much !!! This is exactly the type of information I was hoping for. I really appreciate the link for your surgery experience as well as the doctor that did you surgery.

Thank you so much for the information. I am very reluctant to go to Mexico for surgery. Do you mind me asking how much you r doctor charged?

Thank you for sharing everything with me. The more I read, and the more interact with others, I'm starting to think surgery might just be to big of a risk, and to just try and work with my weight. If it was sure to improve my health, it would be worth it, but I don't want to make things worse. It sounds like you have the right attitude. Take care and thank you so much. Jackie

Thank you for the pictures and the information on the hospital. I am very nervous thinking of going to Mexico for surgery, but it looks like they have a great facility. All of your information will ceratinly help me decide what to do. All the best with your continued success. Jackie

Thanks again for the info. I saw the stats you sent, but I also know plication is very new, so it will be itneresting to see what the success rates are once more surgeries have been done. Are you considering the VSG? All the best to you.

Thank you so much for this information, it will certainly help me as I try to make a decision about what to do - because this is such a big decision. It must have been very difficult for you to go through all that pain and expense, and then just ending up right where you were to start with. Would you mind telling me if you had any problems as a result of the surgery? I'm kind of concerned with what happens to the stomach that is folded together? Any pain? Extra reflux?

Thanks so much Laura. I keep reading so many comments by people that just don't seem happy with the surgery, so it is hard to know what to do. Were you happy with Dr. Corvala and the clinic?

I'm trying to find out if the surgeon that did your sugery has anything to do with how successful your weight loss has been since your surgery? I am looking at having surgery done, and trying to decide which surgeon to have do it. I keep reading about those that haven't lost much weight, but it would help if I knew who did the surgery.

I'm looking for a doctor to do GSP. It seems some people have good weight loss with GSP and some do not. I'm trying to find out if the success rate has to do with which doctor is doing the proceedure?
