I was worried about doing something so drastic as a sleeve. I thought the POSE procedure sounded like the perfect solution for me. When that didn't work out, going to Mexico was a whole different ballgame. Mexico, was I out of my mind? I was so determined to loose weight, I rationalized it to be okay. But you know what? When health insurance will not pay for it, we are forced to
find
another way. What I found was, all these people, and I mean a lot of people, were coming to
Mexico. I was floored by the amount of people waiting to board vans at the San Diego airport to
be driven into Mexico. There were 9 people in the van I was in. The vans were picking up people
about every 3 hours. I can not stress to you how many people, from all over the country, were
having surgery in Tijuana. I read everything I could find online. I decided to bite the bullet
and do it. I haven't told any one in my family what I have done. I just didn't want to hear all
the negative reactions. I probably would react the same way because I had never heard of anyone
going to Mexico, only horror stories. I may tell my family around Thanksgiving or Christmas. I
should be at my goal weight by then. Then I won't care what they say!
