  1. Where in Mexico? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930AZ using the BariatricPal App Piedras Negras, Coahuila. Mexico Let me know if you have any questions! DR. A has a YouTube channel if you're interested. That's when I made my decision to proceed. Where in Mexico? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930AZ using the BariatricPal App Piedras Negras, Coahuila.

  2. Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. He is highly qualified and answers all of your questions. Susan is great. Looking forward to more positive experiences as well!
  3. I thought about going to Emory until I found out my insurance would not cover bariatric surgery. I am going to Mexico soon instead. Best wishes to you!
  4. I always find it best to ask the patient coordinator who they recommend financing through. I could not afford to finance the US cost so I am financing the cost of surgery in Mexico.
  5. Scheduling my surgery currently ???? & I am paying $8900 in Mexico. My insurance does not pay for bariatric surgery.
  6. I take extended release metformin. I don't think these can be crushed because it would cause all of the medicine to hit at once. Has anyone else had this concern?
  7. I will be having my surgery with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico and he performs 2 leak tests and that is included in the fee (I'm self pay). There is no way I would have a procedure done by that doctor!
  8. Hey! I was just wondering how you were doing? I am new here and appreciated you sharing your experience.
  9. I am new to this app and probably don't have a place to say this, however, we all have been treated in a not so nice way before. If we all spent time complaining about companies or managers, we would not have time to take care of ourselves or our family. We all have enough stress in life and three dollars and a poor experience will not ruin my day. Stress kills. Have peace within yourself and never go back there again if you choose. Blessings for a nice night!
  10. Thank you so much for sharing! You did amazing! God bless you as well!
  11. You look amazing! How did you keep your skin so toned, if you don't mind me asking?
  12. Good luck to you. I'm sure they have financing but doubt it's in house Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thank you!
  13. Thank you, I will check into that.
  14. I know this is an older post but I am waiting to hear back from Susan. Do they offer any financing? I don't have the 8900 readily available.
  15. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I would love Dr. A to be my surgeon. Do they offer any financing? I am waiting to hear back from Susan.
  16. I am saving to have surgery by Dr. A. I've watched every video of his and never seen one bad review about him. I am currently waiting to hear back from Susan to see if they have any in house financing because I don't have the 8900 but am desperate to have him as my surgeon! I hope you have the very best experience!
  17. Thank you for sharing your story. I am considering Mexico for surgery because my insurance does not cover bariatrics.
  18. I have PCOS and am hoping to get the sleeve done. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App
  19. Same here! Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App
  20. I am hoping to have surgery with Dr. A at Endobariatrics. It is only 1 mile into Mexico. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App
  21. Hi! My husband's employer excludes any weight loss services, including surgery so I am saving money to go to Mexico. My mom thinks this is crazy but I've read about great experiences. I also don't have 24 grand to spend. Best of luck to you Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App
