  1. I am having the surgery in Mexico and I'm curious to know if my health savings account will pay for at least my bariatric vitamins.
  2. When was your surgery? Hows it going?
  3. How far out are you? How much have you lost? Pictures? I am 5'11. Working out is painful these days, focusing on trying to be active. Scheduled for 3/31/16 Any input helps
  4. My BMI is 55. Surgery is 3/31/16. Hope I do well.
  5. I am 511. Currently 398. Heaviest I have ever been. Carry most of my weight in my belly. My surgery is 3/31/16. Excited after reading all your posts. How has skin been for all you tallies?
  6. This is me now! How do you feel? I carry my weight in my belly area. My surgery is on 3/31. Last question how is your skin?
  7. ive been kinda thinking up stuff to tell people when they see me losing after my surgery. havent decided to the truth or just say i diet/exercise.
  8. Any recommendations for Vitamins I should start taking before surgery and after. Having sleeve done in March.
  9. I will double check but I'm certain it is $3500.
  10. How much did you pay out of pocket? I have blue cross and my plan only covers 80% after my 1500 deductible. Just curious what others paid. I wont get a solid cost quote for a couple weeks. Also considering self pay in Mex.
  11. you carry your weight well... cant you just eat less? lets workout 6 days a week people die from complications -____-
  12. Thank you for that information to the both of you! Ive read that review that said "learn from my mistake". It had to do with an associate the dr no longer works with and a refund situation. I visited the facility last week (i live in san diego) and i even asked about it. Thanks so much for the heads up.!
  13. And yet, 3 years later it keeps poppin' up for new comers like me doing research.
  14. Every review ive read on Dr. Q has been great. This is the same negative review on Henry ive read on many forums. Its like come on, they were trying to be reasonable. I am going to visit Dr Qs facility next week (i live in San Diego) and I plan to post about it. When posting we need to remember to be honest about everything. This woman is hurting the reputations of a reputable surgeon.
