      I will be honest I had the same idea running around in my head when I booked my Surgery but as long as you are 100% Honest on your Questionnaire you should be fine. They will ask you the medical info no less than 5 times before heading into surgery. The Cardiologist comes in after the chest X-ray and does a Ekg your Blood Pressure is checked many times. I know that if you go with a company such as Bariatric Pal and cant heve the surgery you will be refunded so what do you have to lose besides weight. Worst case is a 4 day vacation to Tijuana.

      I tried to get the surgery in the US and of course my insurance denied me. I am borderline diabetic, I have to take medicine for high cholesterol and heart disease runs in my family. I have been yo yo dieting my entire life and I needed to do something. I noticed that a few of my coworkers were looking slimmer and found out that they all went to the same doctor in Mexico. I honestly struggled with this decision for over a year and just had the gastric sleeve surgery on 3/15. I'm home recovering and even though I'm barely starting this journey; I'm hopeful and think I made the right decision. The doctors and nurses in Tijuana were so good to me and didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all. In fact I left there making new friends. Yes it is easier to get it done in Mexico, but they still test you prior and make sure your healthy enough for the surgery. I plan on going back there to get more work done if all goes well here. I wish the doctors out here would see that this surgery isn't an easy fix; it's a life changing operation.

  3. Who is that lady on the plane? You truly look amazing!
  4. I love you.... Take off the polish and or fake nails, it's no big deal blue or unblanchable nail beds are first indicators of lack of oxygen especially for us chocolate folks we don't turn blue or grey or flush! It's a safety precaution! Pulseox can't read through nail polish or cold fingers! So schedule a nail appointment right after, I've read we'll feel normal on day 2
