That's awesome! I just got put on cholesterol meds. I am in the research phase. Just thinking about long term health. Losing weight is the exciting part but health is what ultimately matters.

I'll take the super deluxe package...all of the above, plus... Being able to feel my hip bones. They're there somewhere.

Anyone purchase complication insurance? My insurance company tells me they won't cover complications. I'm not necessarily expecting any...but they can happen even with good surgeons and adherence to post-op instructions. If they happen, it will get expensive very quickly. I'm willing to pay for the surgery if insurance won't approve me, but not sure I can expose my family to the risk of complications. Even if it is statistically a small risk.

I've been following the complications forum, and it appears they can happen months out from surgery, not just the first few days. Plus, some people have been in and out of the hospital for months. I also have seen more than one story where if there are complications, they pack you up and head back to the US. I'm not saying complications are common, but you can't ignore the potential no matter how small. The emotional burden of dealing with a complication is huge. I can't imagine dealing with a financial burden on top of that. Don't forget about missing work, etc. I just can't see putting my family through the risk. The exposure is too great. Keep in mind this is also applies if I am self-pay in the states or in Mexico. The risk is the same. This is not about where I have the surgery.

i notice this only covers you while in Mexico. I'm searching for insurance that would also cover you after you return home. Judging by what I'm reading for others who have complications, they require multiple trips to ER and days or even weeks in the hospital. If you are that sick, you have to get to the closest hospital quickly. For me, that's in the US.

That's great news. I've had a hard time finding companies. The ones I have found, cannot verify reputation or patient experience.
