  1. My surgery is October 10. Just thought my pre-op diet this Monday. And I would love some advice and just someone to reach out to if I do you have any questions. Thank you.
  2. Good Luck! I am scheduled for October sleeve with Dr. Valenzuela. I'm getting a little nervous and getting a lot of negative comments from family members on my decision. I just am tired of fighting the insurance company here in the US. One month I get approved and the next they say I'm not. It's been going on like this for almost 2 yrs. I have a couple of health issues so I need to do this, but so nervous and the family is not helping. I know its only because they're worried but I'm nervous enough. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
  3. Hi - I was wondering if you had your surgery and what dr you decided on? I'm scheduled for October sleeve with Dr. Valenzuela. If you had your surgery any info you can share about the dr you chose, the hospital and hotel and your experience would mean a lot to me. I'm starting to feel a little nervous. Thanks
  4. I will be getting my sleeve in September. I'm not sure if I'm going to go through Bariatricpal or through the Mexico Bariatric Center. I would like to use Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela but I'm researching the Bariatricpal doctors and facilities.
  5. Hi - I'm looking into the same place and doctor. Have you found any information?
  6. I'm considering Dr. Jaime Ponce De Leon or Dr. Lopez through Bariatricpal. I won't be able to schedule mine until August or September so I'm researching them now. I'm also talking to someone from Beliteweight. If anyone has used them, I would appreciate any feedback.
  7. I have a similar story. I have insurance also and have spent the last year fighting with them to get my surgery approved. I was denied just this week for the last time. I decided to have my sleeve in Mexico. I have clinicals that I'm doing this summer for school, so I have to put my surgery off until August or September. I have been looking into Dr. Jaime Ponce De Leon in Tijuana. I have just started looking into the Doctor and trying to find out as much info as I can. Glad I'm not the only one with so many questions. Good luck and I'll share any info I find.
