First of all I want to thank everyone for sharing your story. This is a great board which allows all of us to express our most inner feelings. Dealing with overweight, I am determined to go for surgery. My mother had the surgery in March. She was borderline diabetic and is combating chronic back pain. She is more agile and healthier. I am happy for her and encouraged to have my procedure on July 30. She was covered by her insurance with wonderful results, thanks to God. Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover the procedure thus traveling abroad is my only hope. I am reluctant to have any of my family members travel with me. I need to do this by myself. I will have peace of mind knowing that my 3 toddlers are well taken care of. After much research, Dr. Aceves will be doing my surgery in Mexico. I am confident on his expertise along with his staff. I will soon join the sleeve family so please send positive energy my way. I am hoping to return to Mexico with hubby and a bikini!!!!
