  9. *Have not seen anything on him, thru the CDC.” Thank you
  10. I already know his story, thank you like I said previously to another poster. I also checked and nothing new has come up. I will ask for respect on my decision and that we can keep this post positive. I have gone over seas for surgery and have had good experience and if it doesn’t it’s mine decision. Thank you.
  11. My surgery date is 1/21 and I have been on my pre diet then the liquid diet 6days before my surgery! Excited and nervous can’t wait for the day to come and everything be ok.
  12. Good luck Johnny B how are you feeling?
  13. Sometimes they feel insecure when a drastic change happens to their spouse and relationship, it’s also change for them and it’s scary. But as long as their is love they will see like u said it has no bearing.
  14. Thank you for that, I also read it and I’m confidant in my decision. Overseas surgery is scary I had surgery in Dominican Republic and the doctor I went to was good and also had many people complain about her and the place she operates. So all in all, I’m going and so far my experience with both doctor and wla has been great. I am in the medical field and I don’t need a lot of post op care, plus any medical questions I can ask my doctors etc.
  15. I’m new and was looking for the VSG surgery group for January! I’m 34 two kids age 15 & 8, what made me go for it was I got tired of the yo-yo weight tired of the diets I mean I done it all too! Hcg diet with injections many rounds thru out the years, phentermine many times thru out the years, excessive training, etc all to gain it all back. But most recently was the loss of my 3 month pregnancy and gained all I lost back with no baby. So I just snapped and said hell with this. My insurance never wants to approve my surgery and I decided after much thought and research to go to Tijuana Mexico to Dr Almanza and my surgery is for 1/21. My mom had gastric by pass in 2015 my sister in 2013 my cousin vsg 2015 and all look great. At a comfortable weight in 2016 I had tummy tuck Lipo done in DR and although I don’t gain from those areas I sure gotten big in other areas. My doctor has me doing 21 day high protein low carb diet and then 6 day clear liquid diet can’t wait for the time to come. I had two good friends have bag with my doctor and look great! The cost is wonderful too.
