  1. I went to Dr. Valencia and was very happy! His price is around $8,000. Not the cheapest, but I think he is the best! Very experienced and he was a professor of bariatrics at UCLA.
  2. I went to Dr. Valencia in Tijuana. I had a great experience and would recommend him to anyone. He operates in Hospital Angeles which was very nice. He is not the cheapest, but is the best in my opinion! He was a professor of bariatric surgery at UCLA. I picked him because he has the best credentials of any surgeon I found in Mexico. I hope this helps. Keep us posted!
  3. I think the unjury shakes are really good. You have to buy them online at unjury.com They also have chicken broth.
  4. Don't want to get involved in the fighting. I'll just say if you want to know more about my experience with my surgeon, you can pm me.
  5. Everyone seems to get these stalls at one time or another. I get really depressed too but if I hang in there my weight loss always startes up again. I just have to fight that feeling of, "I might as well eat some junk since I'm not losing anyway" mentality!
  6. I used 2 of my credit cards. Now I'm in debt AGAIN! Bad girl, bad girl!!!!!!
  7. Huh? You asked and I answered. Not all lapband doctors do sleeves. Mine does so I answered you. Use another surgeon if you want. It doesn't make any difference to me!
  8. My surgeon does sleeves. There is also another surgeon on the website that does them in the U.S. alighterme .com
  9. It can be very confusing! I can tell you what I did. I looked for the best credentials, and looked at the hospitals, then called and talked to the surgeons. When you talk to the surgeon ask lots of questions and find out what kind of plan they have in case of emergencies. Make sure they are equipped to handle what ever comes up. As it turned out, I had a great experience and a great surgeon. Good luck to you!
  10. I agree with you. Dr. Valencia and his team are awesome!
  11. You're right, looking is stressful! I was very happy with my surgeon. He is affiliated with UCLA which made me feel good about my decision. The hosptial was very modern, new and they took very good care of me. You can pm me if you want to ask me any questions.
  12. I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a hard time. What were the complications you had and why did they have to remove 1/2 of your stomach?
  13. The Dr. Valencia that did my surgery is in TJ and Ensenada. I went to TJ.
  14. Hi! I had my surgery with Dr. Valencia. I had a great experience and I highly recomend him. I did a lot of research and found his credentials to be the best in Mexico. You can more of his patients CLICK HERE on the Obesity Help Board.
  15. Best decision I ever made! I'm so glad that those of us that had to self pay have this option!
