pcp loves the idea of mexico



Recommended Posts

I'm so relieved.

I saw my pcp today and told her of my plans to have vsg in Tijuana. She thought it was great and has several other patients in the same boat. As far as insurance coverage for follow up stuff she said she just has to code things creatively!!!!

so manny worries just went out the window. Nothing to do now but have my surgery. :wink0:

Thanks for listening

I am thrilled for you! I know when I had my appt with my PCP to tell her and got a positive reaction my whole world seemed brighter! To know that you have that support is great. Congrats!:wink0:

Stacey, that's great news! I'm so happy for you! :wink0: Coming from someone whose pcp wasn't supportive of wls at all, I can imagine how much better you must feel now!

It really is such a relief. It keeps away that feeling that I am doing something crazy. I first wanted to get the lapband because it was reversable and I figured the worst case scenario would be that I get it taken out. The more I read the more I came to think of the lap band as a torture device (definately not for me). The sleeve seemed so extreme. Irriversable.... taking part of your stomach.... forever....

The more I have read and the more I listen to you all the more I see this is a great option. My PCP just confirmed that.

thanks

Great news, Stacey! I know you will have a very postitive experience with your new sleeve. We all love ours. I have been eating more than I should for a while due to emotional issues with my sister Linda and all, but have lost over 55 lbs so far - and hoping for at least another 20, 25lbs. Have slowed down quite a bit lately but still happy that I am a more normal size (no more plus sizes for me - EVER!) You are not too heavy and certainly young enough it will make a huge difference in your life! You will be a slim beauty for sure! Will be watching your progress with interest, now that I am back on the boards! Feel so relieved to have finally told everyone about my sister.as people were still choosing Jerusalem due to my old posts and I felt so bad.

I liken it to playing Russian roulette - why gamble with those odds.

I have an appointment with my PCP Monday and I am going to tell her about my choice to go to Cancun for surgery. I hope she supports my decision and I don't have to scramble to find a new doctor before I go to Mexico.

I am so relieved. My PCP have me a thumbs up for my Mexico Surgery. She ordered a bunch of blood work to send with me and as a post op comparison. Well that was the last big hurdle...looks like I will be heading to Cancun.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
