I feel I am doing well. Not great but not bad either. I am down 63 pounds and have perfect bloodwork. Started at 265 the middle of May. I can run mile in 13-14 minuted consistently and ran my first 5K in under 45 minutes. Right now I don't have a scale at home and will not dwell on a number, I will gauge my success on how healthy I feel and look. I have no regrets!

I also have limited funds and have found two good options. One was through Jerusalem Hospital for $3750 which is a clinic setting and another through Medical Tourism Co. For $4000 which is at the Florence Hospital. I first booked the least expensive (SIL and her friend went there and received great care) but just switched to florence Hospital to make my husband feel better about me traveling alone. From what I have researched, they are all pretty good in Mexico and and the care is good. I wish I had the money to take a buddy but I can't. Good luck!

I flew into San Diego on Thursday afternoon. Had surgery on Friday. The first few hours after surgery were the toughest for me. Within 5-6 hours I was up walking and started feeling pretty good. My pain level was low and dropped to no pain once the drain came out. I am ready to fly home tomorrow. I just got from walking 3 blocks to a Wal-Mart with no problem.

Good luck and best wishes to everyone having surgery in the next few days. We will all start next week on the loser bench.

My surgery is at 12:15 tomorrow. So excited and so nervous, if that makes sense. Trying to sleep, but I think that is going to be out of the ? tonight. I will post as soon as I can tomorrow. Prayers to all others having surgery tomorrow too. Talk to ya all soon:)

Good luck to all who are having surgery tomorrow! Our prayers are with u and check in when u can so we know how u are feeling!

For me it comes down to money. My insurance does not cover weight loss surgery and I don't have $15,000. I can get the sleeve in Mexico for $5,000. Surgeons are qualified and facilities are clean.

I am late jumping on this thread but I am being sleeved on May 30 in Mexico. Should arrive at 1:35pm on Thursday in San Diego.

Hi. Im sandi. Very excited. My surgery date is May 29th, New Jersey. I came down with a cold yesterday, I hope it will not postpone anything. Taking good care of myself before hand. No pre op liquids required by my doctor but I think I will anyway at least 3 days.
Good luck to everyone.

I am being sleeved on the 30th with Dr. Camelo at Florence Hospital. I will let you know how it goes.

I am booked through Medical Tourism to have my surgery on the 30th. I was first scheduled with Dr. Curiel at Jerusalem Hospital but recently switched to Dr. Ramos. Mainly because of the facility. It was difficult finding information on both but I did find more on Dr. Curiel. I mainly asked question through my coordinator, Hazel Ramos, to get info. It seems like there are a handful that are very popular and some that are not so popular but just as qualified. I feel confident in my decision and would had been happy with either one. Dr. Ramos will performing my surgery at Florence Hospital and their motel is on the 4th floor of the hospital, since I am traveling alone this appealed to me.
