6 days post op and all I want is solid food!!!!!!!!!! How how some of you all gotten through this on you liquid pre op diet. I didn't have to do it.

I'm right there with you. I was looking at traveling to TX to spend 12K but did a ton of research and found a doctor near me who is stellar but costs about 6K more. Yes, I could save the $$$ but this isn't something I wanted to go cheap on. I know lots of folks have gone to Mexico and have had great results. I also have heard of a number of people who went to Mexico and who had complications and nowhere to turn once they were home. I've traveled to Mexico many a time - but it was not my first choice for medical care.
I had to make a list of pros and cons for my choice of surgeon and once I did that it was clear it made sense for me to spend more, stay close to home, and have a surgeon at a Center of Excellence with very happy patients. The idea of traveling after surgery and not having strong aftercare made me realize that yes, he may cost more, but he offers more and by golly, I'm worth it

Seriously.... 20 grand is worth my life. I tooo have a friend that went to Mexico and had great results. Still one can pay 20 grand and have problems too....I just felt easier about doing it in the states. I flew from Oregon to have Surgery in Miami for a couple of reasons. Dr. Moises Jacobs is highly recommended and his staff was wonderful ....He himself is more personable than most people you would ever meet. He teaches other Doctors how the procedure works... Second.... My Bestee lives here and I thought that a couple weeks away from snow and freezing weather in Oregon was a great place to hear! I too got real confused about the lower prices I was seeing.... For me.... The bottom line was to be with a Doctor that I felt the best with. Ps. Susysleever, I already have a car. But I understand your thoughts. Good luck

Mommyofsomany and Carriemariec05 I have your pounds down!
Mommy, I'm a fellow 12/11 sleever...having a hard time containing my excitement that we are only THREE days away!
Best wishes to all of you!

I paid $20,000 and could have gone with a cheaper option (a few grand), but wanted to go with the best doctor. Had mine on 12/2 and glad I went with the better doc. Glad you had yours done and are happy with the choice!
