  1. Question: Did you have your surgery in the US? Or Mexico? It matters!!
  2. The same thing happened to me. I was consistently nauseous for 5 days and I went to the ER 3x and begged for fluids because I could not eat or drink anything. Then it just passed..

  4. I believe that we DON'T change at our core because that is set based on out morals, values and beliefs. However, there is a major change in my personality. Having been discriminated due to my size and appearance, I am more confident, hopeful, and while always happy, even more so. Also, because my health is great, I have more energy, and am exponentially more active. Now, that said, I have new associates that I've met at the gym and at various activities, because my longtime friends are still inactive, like I used to be. However, I still love my friends and spend a lot of time with them. However, because I don't want to make a big deal over my weight loss, when they comment, I just say thanks and tell them how much healthier I feel. Even though I am excited to pieces over the weight loss, I don't call attention or make over the physical change because I am sensitive to their struggles.
  5. 216 when discharged after surgery on 1/7. Now I'm 185. I'm excited.
  6. I had surgery 1/7/16. Weight at discharge was 216. Today 186.1. I've slowed on purpose. I don't want kidney stones.
  7. Valentina, I love your response. Thanks for that!!!
  8. My highest weight was 230. Surgery date was 1/7/16. Weight at discharge was 216. Today, 2/15/16 181.1. My height was 5'3.5"
  9. So do you pay the $4088 the day of surgery? Sent from my SM-G530T1 using Tapatalk No. I paid $250 deposit before 12/31/15 and they discounted by $100. I brought the balance in a cashiers check of $3738.00. I gave it the day of the surgery, 1/7/16. I have to document my experience so I'm writing a documentary. The Healthcare System is superior to thee US in so many ways
  10. I am an attorney. I find myself giving to everyone who can't pay and often going without myself. Well that is changing, While I will always have a heart for others, In December 2015, I decided to think about my own health. I'm scheduled for the gastric sleeve in 3 days and I am so very happy about that. I am travelling to Tijuana for the procedure and I am also getting long overdue dental work and vascular work done. I had Blue Cross Blue Shield and it did not cover anything... after all those premiums. Wow!!! I just happened to have the WRONG plan.

  12. My insurance did not approve the surgery, so I am Tijuana bound on 1/6. My surgery is 1/7, and while was excitedly anxious, I am now a little scared, but blessed to be able to pay for it. My surgeon is Mario Camelo Ramos, and I a having the surgery at the Florence Hospital. I am excited. I went through Medical Tourism Corporation and they are also scheduling my dental appointment and vascular appointment. I am so very excited to have this opportunity.
  13. I am having Gastric Sleeve Surgery on Jan 7th and I scheduled through Medical Tourism Corporation. My concierge is Cyrel and she has been instrumental in this process. I'm have the surgery at the Florence Hospital and my surgeon is Mario Camelo Ramos. The reviews are solid. The cost was $4088, with a $100 discount if confirmed with a $250 deposit before Dec 31st. I'm so excited!!!!
