    I would say being in the 50 percent range is still great.

  4. Yes it's normal to have a little bit of nerves. .It's a major life choice. Obviously you feel the need to have this done. Then do it! Do it for you. Knowledge is power..learn all you can. Defiantly get you vitamins!
  5. I knew something wasent right.. I procrastinated. .my pain wasent getting better but worse..a horrible pain in front shoulder, uncomfortable feeling under left rib. I can all so say the drs here in the states frown on us going to mexico...i figured due to money. Comes to find out it has more to do with cleanliness and safety measures.. I have a feeling it's going to be a long battle.. 3 weeks out can hardly hold an oz of food .. I just want to get healthy ! Resume my life..
  6. I did not go Oasis of Hope in which I wish I would have I went to Mexico bariatric center what a huge mistake it wasn't very unclean very unsterile they lacerated my spleen finding that out when I got back here to Michigan it almost cost me my life they decided to remove 95% of my stomach which is not recommended please do your research before going to Mexico
  7. I ended up canceling my surgery at oasis of hope..do to unforseen circumstances. I have nothing bad to say about them...they refunded my deposit.. Now I'm going to Mexico Bariatric Center on June 6th. I believe things happen for a reason.. I started my 1 week diet. I feel bad a ate a healthy Protein salad...but now I start my liquid diet and im ready👍

      It's called "food funeral".

      IMO it's kind of normal as people are very often being told "You can't have this food after WLS and don't even think about having that food after WLS!!"

    Oasis of hope hospital

    DWell so far I know it's not just about the money. They have us put a deposit done when we schedule. They refunded me in full. I know many places won't do that..paula one of the coordinaters have been. Great with me. All ways answer my questions with in an hour..im pretty confident so far...i leave the 25 have surgery the 26. Come back the 28..pricing is pretty good too. It's not a low budget or high-end. . in the middle..
