Hello everyone I have been researching this procedure now for 3 months. I have no insurance so have decided to head for the Border. This forum is PRICELESS, filled with valuable info and first hand accounts, it will surely be my home through my journey of change.

Hi Shontel, Welcome to LBT. It really is an amazing place, isnt it? It's been a huge help to me and so much fun making new friendships.

Good luck in your early stages of the journey. Really do your research and pick a good doc. :mad:

Hi Shontel,

I am also a self-pay having surgery in Mexico. My surgery is on March 7, 2006 and my surgeon is Roberto Rumbaut. Who are you going to have do your surgery?

After months of research, I chose Dr. Sanchez, for me, he was the best and most reasonable in terms of cost, since I'm a self pay. Good luck to you! I'm still saving so haven't set a date yet, but hope to very soon :welldone2:

Hello everyone , I am new to forum. I am thinking about the LBP and have spoken to 4 doctors. I think that Dr.Rodriguez is my best choice to have it done in Mexico because I live in the DFW area and I want the same Dr to do my fills. But I want feedback on something, is there anyone who will finance the entire surgery($8900.00).I really want it done by summer but cannot afford it right now.

There are many medical finance options available. Ask your patient coordinator about what ones they use, or you could take a personal loan ect.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
