@ db 1982 Thanks!

@ db1982 What is the pre op diet you're following? I would like to start a 7 day now and follow that with the 3 day yogurt and water diet that is required by my doctor. I think it will help me get into the right mindset and start breaking bad habits! Try to relax and not worry so much, I know the plane missing is scary but your chances of being in a airplane crash is so unlikely, you are so much more likely to be in a car accident. I have flown a lot and never even had a scare. You will be fine, you will get through this and start your new healthy life! We'll all be thinking about you, stay in touch, we're all here to support one another.

Being sleeved by Dr Ponce De Leon on April 16th at INT then will be at the Lucerna on the 18th, anyone else there at the same time? It would be great to meet up with some one from here! 10 days to go, I'm getting a little nervous now.

Hi, I am also considering Dr Garcia, hopefully around the same time, but the email I received from one of his coordinator said I would stay at hotel pueblo amigo? Who did you contact to make your plans? Can I ask what made you choose Dr. Garcia? I am still looking at several Drs but liked the florence hospital facility so am looking closer at Dr. Garcia. Any info you can pass on with regards to Dr. Garcia? Thanks!

I will be a self pay and am going to Mexico for the gastric sleeve. My insurance company said that they would not cover complications because there is not bariatric coverage on my policy. Does anyone know where I can purchase insurance that will cover complications (if any) once I return to the states? I would like to have my surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz, his facility is an International Center of Excellence but is not JCI accredited so is not covered by a couple of companies that I located that offer medical tourism insurance. I am just nervous about having the surgery and possibly extra expense if there are complications, which could be very costly if the complications were serious.
