Hello Everyone, Has anyone had either the SADI-S or SIPS Surgeries performed in Mexico? Is so, when, how did it go and who performed your surgery?

Answer 1) There are numerous challenges that I have encountered as a lifetime dieter. Weightloss medications are very short term and can be expensive. Most diet plans ate expensive and extremely time consuming. Maintenance is always a challenge after weight loss and there is little support for maintenance. I have not been able to have surgery through my insurance because I am Class I obesity with no co-morbidities. Bariatric surgery in the U.S. is way too expensive for self pay. Answer 2) All of the above! Better medications, easier qualification for insurance to cover bariatric surgery or other weightloss methods for ALL levels of obesity. Better surgery procedures with very ling term success rate like SADI-S. Support groups that are not limited by time or goals. Answer 3) I spend over $8,000 per year on health clubs, fad diets and weightloss medications and supplements. Answer 4) Because I have been a lifetime dieter and have genetic potential to develop Type II Diabetes I spend a lot of time researching. I read medical journal studies, have read books, talk to others who have obesity issues, of course commercials and membership based websites like Bariatric Pal and Real Self have been a great resource as well for information and support!
