  1. I'm going to Dr. Gerardo Garcia Alvarez at Bariatric Mexico in Cabo. I have 8 people who work with my bf who've all gone to this effect same Dr and hospital in the last year.. they literally refer to it as the Beverly hills of Mexico. I'm really looking forward to being treated so well at such an affordable cost. Good luck to you!!# Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

  3. Just a tip.. unscented spray on deodorant works amazing on those chaffing areas.. I've used it for years in the groin and under my tummy fold, especially in the summer.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
  4. Do you know when your surgery is? I'm also concerned about saggy skin.. I will definitely make it a goal to have a tummy tuck.. And eventually arms and breasts.. but tummy for sure first. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

  12. No, I submitted an application where I entered all my medical information, and for me (since I have a lapband) I had to go have an endoscopy done and send them the results.. other than that you go down a day early to get blood work and everything done.. then have your surgery. They are pros over there. It's all they do. My friend who went were out of recovery within a few hours, start to finish.. back to work within a week. They have a coordinator that works with you VERY CLOSE, to guide you through the entire process, answer any question ect.... They were a bit more expensive than other places but for that standard of care it's worth it to me. My health isn't something I want to bargain with Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
  13. I'm older than you, but just beginning.. I wish I started at your age [emoji16].. I'm 38 and revising to a sleeve in July in Cabo. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
  14. I've been doing keto for the last couple of months. Up until this week I wasn't sure if my revision to a sleeve would pan out so I needed to really dig in and better my lifestyle. I love it, and plan on keeping it up once I'm sleeved (but I think it'll be slightly easier) my biggest hurdle as it is, is finding lapband friendly AND keto friendly foods. But I'm down 24 lbs so far. I also add the keto OS drinks. That adds ketones to your body and helps a TON Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

  16. I'm having my surgery done on July 14th in Cabo.. I have several personal friends who went to this same surgeon and they said it's a mini Beverly Hills. I'm so excited for my day. It's Bariatric Mexico Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
  17. I'm curious about this as well. Mine isn't until July, but I'm unsure if what to expect.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
  18. I am going through this right now as I prep for my revision. My boyfriend keeps dropping comments about how I "better not cheat" I'm "doing it for myself" ect.. I would give anything if he could read what's in my heart. Yes I want to look better, but I DO want to look better for him. I want to be his arm candy, I want his friend's to stop thinking he has the girlfriend with the "pretty face" I want to be able to wear lingerie and feel sexy. Yes, I'm doing this for myself, but I'm also doing it for him. I feel like he's bracing for me to run off.. I just wish he could read my heart. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
  19. That happened with me in my arms and thigh and I had a ruptured disc and had to have emergency surgery Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
  20. I know this is a strong opinion, but I'm greatly tired of brand new lapband patients trying to educate me on my lapband that I've struggled with for 7+ years. I don't need ANOTHER adjustment. I don't OVEREAT. I don't BREAK the rules. I don't eat foods that I'm not supposed to eat. Believe me, I wouldn't just give up on a tool that I paid $13.3k for CASH when I barely had the ability to get a loan to do so. So please, be considerate and understand that I too thought the lapband was the best thing on the planet in the beginning. It took several years to get me to the decision to remove it. Ok rant over.
