Please if you read this respond. This is my biggest fear about the rest of my life. Have you had problems with this or do you know anyone who has?

Thank you all for your support. Part of the problem is my daughter in law just got liscenced as a nurse practitioner and of course now she knows everything. She's fueling it. It's not a long term solution. It can stretch out and you can stay the same size, there are too many complications, there's a 1-200 morbidity rate. I'm determined to do this. Screw them.

I have tried to tell them but they are so ignorant. They just refuse to listen. I'm nervous about surgery anywhere and it is really starting to wear me down. I've done my research and am not worried about Mexico I think what scares me most (and always has) is going under anesthesia.

Just had my husband tell me how much he resents me because my grown kids are trying to figure out who will go and get my body.

It seems like the whole world revolves around food. Every holiday it's all about food. Treats for kids are always food. it's crazy

Shopping with my daughter and hate being too fat for the cute clothes. Maybe I'll ask for clothing store gift cards for Christmas so I'll have something to look forward to.

My husband seriously just told me to get life insurance first. I'm so sick of being treated like the village idiot by people who haven't done one bit of research.

I totally understand. I'm worried about it too. If you pm me I'll give you my phone number and we can talk or text when you feel like you're going to crack.

I'm going in January in TJ. I wish I had someone going with me.

EVERYONE freaked out! My family has only been on day trips shopping in Nogales and it's a craphole on BOTH sides of the border. I just gave up and told them all of Mexico is not like that. It's frustrating

Yes that's correct. It might help convince them if I had his webpage. Does he have a support group?

I can understand them wanting to voice their concerns but after that family should be there for family. Even if someone in my family made a really bad decision I wouldn't make them feel like they were all alone. Sorry you're going through this also.

I've made my sleeve appt for January with Dr Lopez. I have told my immediate family (husband sister and grown kids) and they are so harsh. It's not safe in Mexico. It's too major a surgery. If something goes wrong it's my own fault. It's the easy way out and not a long term solution. And they won't just have their say and stop its over and over. I want the surgery but I'm already a little apprehensive about surgery alone in another country but I feel like I have no one to talk to about my nerves because then I get the big "i told you so". And this is BEFORE the surgery. I feel like I won't even be able to recuperate and will have to act like it was nothing just so I don't get my nose rubbed in it.

David Lopez I've been trying to talk to you. I've gotten some emails from this site and they dead end. Were any from you? I'm very frustrated with the communication on here.

I don't understand how to go through bariatric pal. I was contacted by Frank at Dr verboonan office.

I am being sleeved by dr verboonan on Jan 11. I'm just concerned about followup care. And nut

What arrangements did you make for followup care? I'm getting sleeved in January and it's one of my main concerns.

Geeze it's personal and not the right of somebody to get on their moral high horse about whether people tell or not. I say to each his own and the others should keep their judgement to themselves.
