That is good advice. I will make an appointment to see a couple of surgeons in this area. My PCP feels that I may be a good candidate, so perhaps she can help schedule some of the tests that are generally done here in the states. I have been reviewing posts all day. Thanks for your feedback!

I am struggling with whether or not to have surgery. I keep telling myself that I can do it on my own, only to gain more weight. I have been reading post on this forum for almost a year and am scared by the complications and problems I read. So I am miserable with all of the problems I have due to weight, high cholesterol, high BP, sleep Apnea, back pain, and the list goes on. I just do not know why I can not do what I need to do on my own. I am so sick of being miserable but afraid that this wont work for me. I would be self pay and financially I want to make sure that I can continue to pay for what ever comes with this technique. I have considered going to Mexico to help with the cost, but I am so worried about am I healthy enough to undergo the procedure. If I knew that I am healthy enough, I would do it in a heart beat. Any advice from anyone else on the fence of decision?
